All qualified neighbors are eligible to purchase a vacant lot under the Land Bank's Side Lot Program. Vacant lots are not sold on a "first come, first serve" basis. If there is more than one qualified applicant for a side lot, the vacant lot will be split between all applicants. You may be asked to pay a portion of the costs of a boundary survey if the property is split.

Applicant's Commitment

I understand that this application is not a contract and that any proposed sale must comply with the Land Bank's Policies and Procedures to proceed. Everything written in this application is true to the best of my knowledge.
