The City of Dawson has posted a sealed bid auction announcement, giving local residents a chance to buy municipal property. The auction is listed under community notices on the city’s website with a date of June 2, 2026.
Anyone interested in placing a bid should contact the city directly to find out exactly what is for sale and how to take part. The details of the property were not immediately clear from the online posting, but the city has sold surplus land this way before.
In 2023, the city passed a land sale bylaw to sell an alley at Block S, Ladue Estate, because it was no longer needed. Sealed bid auctions work by having bidders submit confidential offers before a set deadline, with the sale going to whoever meets the conditions and offers the best price.
This auction comes as the city, led by Mayor Stephen Johnson, moves ahead with major spending on water and sewer upgrades and a new fire truck. The 2026 capital budget totals $12.3 million, with $8.8 million tagged for water and wastewater projects.
For more information on how to bid, check the public notices at City of Dawson.
