Lincolnshire County Council is preparing to sell 76 sites over the next three years, aiming to raise £16 million and cut annual running costs by £1.6 million.
The properties include council offices, travellers’ sites, council-owned farms and former school land. The move follows a previous four-year programme that sold 81 properties and brought in £19 million.
The council says it is reviewing how services can be combined into shared hubs as part of the wider asset review. Community groups and trusts are being considered among potential buyers, though officials emphasise that all sales will be scrutinised to avoid poor value deals.
Opposition members secured an agreement that future sales may return to committee for debate, with some councillors stressing the need to vet buyers carefully.
The planned disposals come as the authority works through a wider reorganisation of its buildings and services.
