How it works

Buying from the Birmingham Land Bank

The Birmingham Land Bank Authority sells tax-delinquent lots by application, typically completing quiet-title work before closing.

1

Pick a property

Browse the Birmingham Land Bank inventory above or on the map. Every parcel links to its official source listing where one exists.

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.
