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.
Who can buy
- Applicants answer questions on late property taxes, code violations, foreclosure, judgments, bankruptcy in the past 7 years, and unpaid income taxes, mortgages or other debts; yes answers need a written explanation and are independently verified
- Priority goes to nonprofit and governmental buyers and to projects serving households at or below 80% (and 50%) of area median income
- Consideration goes to buyers whose use, experience and capacity fit affordable housing goals
What you'll need to apply
- Contact staff first to confirm the property is available and to discuss the offer
- Submit the pre-application at least 30 days before the next Board meeting; submission does not guarantee a place on the agenda and incomplete applications are not considered
- Include a project description and redevelopment plan, experience and capacity, scope of work and plans, an itemized budget, and a timeline with start and completion dates
- Show financing documentation; funding must be in place before acquisition
- Include licensed contractor information, entity documents if a business will hold title, a signed signature page and the offer
After you buy
- 10-year affordability restriction placed in the sales contract and deed, with resale limits and rent limits for rentals
- Right of reversion if the property is not developed per the approved proposal
- Pay property taxes when due and maintain the property
- Rental owners are asked to list units with the Housing Authority of Savannah voucher program
All sales need Board approval, and the Authority may decline any offer for any reason
