Sales Order of Priority

Caltrans is offering for sale properties owned by Caltrans along the SR-710 Corridor pursuant to the Roberti Act / Statutes GC54235-54238.9. The Statutes dictate the sequential order of priorities in which Caltrans can offer the SR-710 properties. If a property is not purchased in the current priority, it moves onto the next priority. The priorities are further divided by the City that the property is in: El Sereno / Los Angeles, Pasadena, and South Pasadena. Caltrans is offering the SR-710 properties in the following order:

Priority 0: Sales to Former Owners (Current Tenants)

Priority 1: Sales to Lower and Moderate-Income Households (Current Tenants)

Priority 2: Sales to Above Moderate-Income Households (Current Tenants)

Priority 3: Housing-Related Public Entities

Priority 4: SB 580 Properties

Priority 5: Housing-Related Private Entities

Priority 6: Sales to Current Tenants at Fair Market Value

Priority 7: Sales to Former Tenants at Fair Market Value

Priority 8: Public Auction (General Public)

Priority 9: Surplus Nonresidential Properties

The infographic above shows the sale priorities for each City (left to right) from the first priority at the top to the last priority at the bottom. It is color-coded by the sales price that each priority is eligible for. (i.e. If you are a member of the general public, your eligibility to purchase Caltrans-owned SR-710 properties will be if and when the property enters Priority 8 at Public Auction at Fair Market Value.)

If and when a property goes to public auction, it is sold by the Caltrans Right of Way Excess Land team.  All upcoming public auctions (including ones for non-710 properties) can be found on Caltrans Properties for Sale or Lease. Caltrans Excess Land can be contacted at D7Auctions@dot.ca.gov or (213) 897-1868 for additional questions regarding the auction process.
