In accordance with Articles 4, 11, and 12 of the National Property Act, national properties are classified into two categories: public use property and non-public use property. Public use property includes official use property, public use property, and enterprise use property, and is managed directly by the administrative authority of its respective use. Non-public use property refers to all national properties other than public use property that may be used for generating revenue or for disposition, and is managed directly by the National Property Administration (NPA).

        According to the NPA, the Ministry of Finance has compiled the 2024 Master Catalog of National Properties based on data provided by the competent authorities, and submitted it to the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics of the Executive Yuan on March 10, 2025, for reference in the preparation of the Central Government’s annual general budget. The total value of national properties is approximately NT$12.0073 trillion, of which public use property accounts for approximately NT$11.0852 trillion and non-public use property accounts for approximately NT$922 billion.

        The NPA further noted that, regarding national land, the total area is approximately 2.24 million hectares. In terms of valuation, for land with an actual acquisition cost, the value is recorded accordingly; for the rest, the value is calculated based on the declared land value for 2024, totaling more than NT$5.3631 trillion. Based on data published by the Department of Land Administration under the Ministry of the Interior, which indicates that announced land values represent 19.59% of the fair market value, the estimated market value is approximately NT$27.3767 trillion. Of this, public use land accounts for 2.02 million hectares, managed by 3,746 user agencies, representing 90% of the total national land area. The top five agencies in terms of managed area are the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, Ministry of Agriculture (1.675 million hectares), the Council of Indigenous Peoples (124,000 hectares), National Taiwan University (34,000 hectares), the Ministry of National Defense (26,000 hectares), and the Water Resources Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs (16,000 hectares).
