Potential bidders can view items on site from Wednesday, Aug. 21 through Friday, Aug. 23 at the Surplus Property warehouse and grounds located at 4590 Mobile Highway in Montgomery. Inspection times are from 8AM to 3PM each day.

Surplus Property generally conducts quarterly auctions each year depending on the amount of surplus items. The warehouse in Montgomery and another one in Eva in Morgan County sell items throughout the year to other state agencies, municipalities, counties and qualified nonprofit organizations. Items not sold during specific periods are placed on auction.
