Summary/Abstract: Purpose: The objective of the article was to analyse municipal real estate resources in Poland. The objective was achieved through the classification of 16 provinces in Poland in terms of the state of the municipal real estate economy in Poland. The evaluation encompassed municipal real estate resources, taking into account their access to infrastructure. Method: The empirical part of the research was described with the use of data coming from a publication of the Central Statistical Office. The research referred to the year 2016. Heuristic methods, such as "brainstorming” and the Delphi method were used for the measurement and evaluation of the phenomenon. In order to rank the provinces with regard to their municipal real estate resources, a taxonomic development measure was calculated. Findings: The status of municipal real estate resources largely depends on the size of municipal real estate resources and the manner of their management by local authorities. It needs to be emphasised that in many provinces both municipal, district and province authorities try to limit municipal real estate resources because their main tenancy generates costs. Hence, local government authorities, using the right of pre-emption, frequently sell the real estate to tenants. There is no statistical data for the x4 variable, Research implications: The research should be continued in the following years, which will enable a comparative analysis.
