Buying from the Gadsden Land Bank Authority
Pick a property
Browse the Gadsden Land Bank Authority 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.
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
- Side lot applicants must be an adjacent property owner to a vacant GLBA-eligible property
- Highest priority is given to applicants who personally occupy the adjacent property (touching borders)
- Applicants are ineligible if they own tax-delinquent property, violate state and local codes and ordinances, or have pending cases to such effect
- Eligible properties are generally tax-delinquent (at least three years) and abandoned properties located within the city limits of Gadsden
- The GLBA board disposes of property in its sole discretion; submitting an application creates no expectation of approval until approved by documented board vote
- Not every acquired property is available for purchase; the GLBA may hold some parcels for future redevelopment
What you'll need to apply
- New program applications are accepted online
- Interested parties must submit a separate application for each immediate-acquisition property of interest
- A proposal for each property of interest is required and must be fully completed based on the guidelines listed in the application
- All proposals are reviewed and prioritized before board consideration
- After receiving a completed Side Lot Program application, GLBA staff verify the information and present a recommendation to the Board of Directors at an upcoming board meeting
- The minimum price shall be at least all costs incurred by the GLBA in conducting the property acquisition/disposition transaction
- If the GLBA board accepts and approves the application, ownership is possible upon scheduling a closing date
After you buy
- Property is deeded to the buyer subject to the terms and conditions approved by the GLBA board, including any associated property development agreement(s)
The quiet title process is approximately 120-150 days but can take up to one year to complete.
