Direct Sale of Two Parcels of County Surplus Real Property, Unincorporated Topanga Canyon Area

On May 12, 2026, the County of Los Angeles approved the direct sale of two surplus parcels totaling 1.84 acres in unincorporated Topanga Canyon, California, to adjacent private property owners. The land was acquired by the County through tax defaults and has never been designated for public use or development. Each parcel will be transferred via quitclaim deed to a single adjacent property owner under strict conditions: no habitable structures may ever be built on the parcels, and each must be permanently merged with the buyer’s existing adjoining property as a single lot. The County retains all mineral rights and reserves the right to establish and maintain fire breaks on the land. The sale is part of a broader effort to dispose of surplus real property under CEQA exemptions and adheres to guidelines established by a 2007 Negative Declaration, confirming no significant environmental impact. Proceeds from the sales, totaling $154,759, will be deposited into the County’s Asset Development Implementation Fund. The transaction involves four separate buyers, each acquiring one parcel at prices ranging from $4,688 to $96,391, all paid directly to the County through its Registrar-Recorder’s office using cash, check, or credit. No competitive bidding process was conducted, as this is a direct sale under county surplus land procedures. Legal and administrative requirements include approval by County Counsel, recording of deed restrictions, and compliance with the Certificate of Compliance process for lot splits. The sale does not involve federal procurement regulations, and therefore no FAR clauses, subcontracting plans, CAGE codes, or federal accounting identifiers apply. Key administrative contacts include Joyce Chang, Senior Manager in the Real Estate Division, and Christopher Kulzon, Principal Real Property Agent. The parcels are located in the 90290 ZIP area near Fernwood Pacific Drive, Hillside Drive West, Cheney Drive, and Callon Drive, with all documentation filed and processed through the County of Los Angeles Chief Administrative Office. There are no delivery schedules, FOB terms, or performance periods, as this is a real estate conveyance rather than a service or goods contract.
