Check the local rules
Each land bank runs its own process — many prioritize owner-occupants, require proof of funds, or ask for a renovation or maintenance plan.
Apply and close
Most purchases start with an application to the land bank rather than an offer through an agent. Timelines run from a few weeks to a few months.
Our step-by-step buying guide covers every stage, from proof of funds to closing.
