Real Property & Leasing Program

Real Property & Leasing Program

Real Property and Leasing (RPL) negotiates and manages leases for state agencies throughout the state. RPL manages 77.0% of all state leased space in Montana. The RPL program serves State agencies by providing safe and accessible space throughout the state. A State agency may not lease, rent, or purchase property for office space, or other building space without the prior approval of the Department of Administration (MCA 2-17-101 (2)). General Services has established parameters that must be met before the Department will approve a lease. Although compliance with these parameters doesn't guarantee approval of a lease, it generally expedites the process. RPL currently administers approximately 400 leases statewide, comprising nearly 1.7 million square feet of office, laboratory, storage, and specialized space.
