In addition to other methods for disposing of real property provided in this title, for a period of five years following the completion or abandonment of a capital project for which fee simple title to property has been acquired, and on a determination that all or part of the property acquired for the project is no longer needed for public use, the County may offer to grant and convey the surplus property to the owner from whom it was acquired, or to the owner’s surviving spouse, personal representative, heirs, or assigns, for a price not less than the cost of acquisition of the property by the County or, in the case of property that is only a portion of a larger parcel acquired by the County, a proportionate amount of the cost of acquisition of the entire parcel. If the owner, the owner’s surviving spouse, personal representative, heirs, or assigns do not execute a contract with the County within 60 days after the date of the offer, the County may dispose of the property as provided in this subtitle.
