Conveyance History

How the Erie Land Bank Sells Properties

The Erie Land Bank returns vacant, abandoned, and tax-delinquent properties to productive use through responsible ownership and development. Properties are sold through structured programs that support neighborhood revitalization.

Developer Sales Program

Many properties are available to individuals, nonprofits, and developers who submit a proposal to rehabilitate the site. Each sale includes a development agreement outlining required improvements, timelines, and compliance. Some properties may also include an enforcement mortgage to ensure the work is completed.

Side Lot Program

Vacant lots next to occupied homes may be sold to neighbors for yard expansion or community use, helping reduce blight and improve curb appeal.

Realtor Listings

Some properties are listed publicly with a realtor. Interested buyers should contact the agent directly for details or to submit offers.

Transparent Process

All proposals are reviewed by staff and approved by the Board of Directors. Our goal is to ensure each property contributes to the long-term health and growth of Erie’s neighborhoods.
