Movable property refers to the assets owned by public entities or the state for which a National Property Catalog has been established. The purpose of the article is to know the management of a movable property based on a literature review, as well as to analyze, understand and evidence through the studies carried out on the management of movable property in local state entities; for such purpose, the methodology applied in the research was a basic, descriptive and narrative type, based on a literature review of scientific articles in databases such as Scopus and Scielo, from which 20 articles were selected. It is concluded that, according to the literature review, the management of movable property in local entities is deficient and is related to the lack of knowledge of technological tools. Another factor related to this is the deficiencies of control procedures. In this sense, it is essential to establish control procedures that allow the management of movable property in local entities.
