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 New York specifics, read How to buy land bank property in New York. Not sure which land bank covers your address? Use the land bank locator or browse the full national directory.
Buyers must be households earning at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Programs target first-time homebuyers. Household size limits apply: a minimum occupancy requirement of 1 person per bedroom and a maximum occupancy requirement of 2 persons per bedroom. Rules are set by the land bank itself — the official program page has the full list (last verified 2026-08).
Most inventory is priced on application — you propose a use and a price. 3 homes and lots are listed right now. The purchase price is usually the smallest cost in the deal — budget for renovation and closing.
Affordable homes (fully renovated or newly constructed) are sold through a public lottery conducted by KCLB; lottery-selected households then proceed to a contract and mortgage purchase. Home prices are set using the Area Median Income (AMI) published annually by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
