Registration is now opened for the annual public auction for the Commonwealth’s surplus property and heavy equipment, which will begin on Monday, Oct. 12, at 8 a.m. ET, and close on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 10 a.m. ET.
Local governments, construction, transportation and logistics companies and others seeking competitive pricing on parts and equipment can now register to bid on more than 700 available lots online.
“My administration has secured seven consecutive budget surpluses and three credit rating increases due to our strong fiscal management, and this public auction is a part of that success,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “Last year, it raised more than $2.8 million to support state transportation and property projects, while the equipment itself helps our farmers, local governments and businesses. This is a win-win.”
Proceeds from the sale will support projects at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Finance and Administration Cabinet’s Division of Surplus Properties (DSP). The surplus heavy equipment auction generated more than $2.2 million in revenue in 2023, $2.6 million in 2024 and $2.8 million in 2025.
Heavy-duty trucks, snowplows, tractors, mowers, assorted parts and equipment and more are available to bid on this year now through October 20.
