Each land bank runs its own process — many prioritize owner-occupants, require proof of funds, or ask for a simple renovation or maintenance plan.
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. For Alabama specifics, read How to buy land bank property in Alabama. Not sure which land bank covers your address? Use the land bank locator or browse the full national directory.
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. Rules are set by the land bank itself — the official program page has the full list (last verified 2026-08).
Asking prices start at $680 with a median around $2,000. 14 homes and lots are listed right now. The purchase price is usually the smallest cost in the deal — budget for renovation and closing.
Side Lot Program: adjacent property owners may apply to acquire a vacant GLBA-eligible 'side lot'; depending on the parcel it may be conveyed through the quiet title process or immediate acquisition. Immediate Acquisition Properties: properties listed as 'Immediate Sale' whose titles have already been cleared are available for immediate acquisition from the GLBA, subject to GLBA board approval. Quiet Title Process: applicant submits an application, the GLBA board approves it, the GLBA obtains the tax deed and completes a quiet title action in Circuit Court, then closing is scheduled between GLBA and the approved applicant. New program applications are accepted online The quiet title process is approximately 120-150 days but can take up to one year to complete.
