Public Buildings Service

Mission: To provide effective, mobile, sustainable workplace solutions for federal agencies at the best value for the American Taxpayer.

The landlord for the civilian federal government, Public Buildings Service (PBS) acquires space on behalf of the federal government through new construction and leasing, and acts as a caretaker for federal properties across the country.

PBS is funded primarily through the Federal Buildings Fund, which is supported by rent from federal customer agencies.
