How it works

Buying from the Grand Rapids Land Bank Authority

1

Pick a property

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

2

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.

3

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.
