The Pudsey Town Hall building is being advertised to potential buyers and could be turned into housing.
Leeds City Council put it on the market despite a public outcry which saw more than 1,000 people sign a petition last summer.
Councillors also formally challenged the sale decision but failed to have it re-considered by the authority.
Now estate agent Lambert Smith Hampton is seeking offers on the town hall, built in 1880, ahead of a February 12 deadline.
Its sale website said the property was “a development opportunity suitable for residential use.”
Pudsey Conservative councillor Simon Seary was among those opposed to a sale of the hall, which has been closed since 2016.
He said: “It’s been empty for a number of years so it would be really good to get it back open and a bustling building like it used to be.
“It’s got a lot of historic value to it. Hopefully it can be regenerated.”
The council pressed ahead with the sale after it was debated at a scrutiny board meeting earlier this month.
The Labour-controlled city council said it was costing too much to maintain the building, which was only partially used by Pudsey and District Civic Society.
The council had been in talks with non-profit Pudsey Town Hall Community Interest Company (CIC) over its future.
A council spokesperson said: “The decision to progress with the sale of Pudsey Town Hall comes after a significant amount of time working with ward members and the CIC to try and find an alternative solution.
“However, after exploring a number of options, unfortunately no viable way forward was found.”
