How it works

Buying from the Pittsburgh Land Bank

1

Pick a property

Browse the Pittsburgh Land Bank 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 simple 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.

Our step-by-step buying guide covers every stage, from proof of funds to closing. For Pennsylvania specifics, read How to buy land bank property in Pennsylvania. Not sure which land bank covers your address? Use the land bank locator or browse the full national directory.
