The state is not required to purchase property unless the municipality notifies which agency?

• A. DLGS
• B. DOE
• C. DOT
• D. EPA

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that when the state may purchase property in a way that involves a municipality, there’s a required coordination step with a central state agency that oversees local government matters. That agency acts as the official channel for notices about municipal assets and property transactions, ensuring any state action aligns with local plans, budgeting, and procurement rules. Because of this oversight role, the state won’t proceed with a property purchase unless the Division of Local Government Services is notified. This agency specifically handles local government administration and procurement coordination, so it’s the appropriate recipient for that notice. In contrast, the Department of Education, the Department of Transportation, or the Environmental Protection Agency don’t serve this general oversight function for municipal property notifications.
