Active Requests for Bids or Proposals
Request for Proposals - Property Available for Reinvestment - Proposals Due February 18, 2026
The City of Paducah, Kentucky is requesting sealed proposals for the purchase and transfer of available real property for the construction of site built, conventionally framed owner-occupied single-family homes. Commercial Development will also be considered, under the same construction guidelines. Developers wishing to purchase a lot on which to build single-family homes must enter into a developer agreement with the City of Paducah. Developers will be required to market the home to an owner-occupied buyer. City/Urban Renewal Community Development owned property will not be sold for the construction of single-family rental units. Duplexes will only be considered on lots that are 8,000 square feet or larger and multi-family requires a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet.
Property will only be sold if immediate development is proposed and the probability of such activity is high. All property is sold “as is” and with no implied warranty of clear title. The buyer is responsible for ensuring clear title prior to purchase. If the purchaser decides to purchase without the benefit of a title exam a quitclaim deed will be granted. To be considered for these properties, bidders must be current on City taxes and have no existing nuisance liens on any property currently owned in the City of Paducah.
The address, lot dimensions, zoning information, and an aerial map of each property is available at the link below in addition to proposal requirements, scoring criteria, and more.
