State Land Bank Authority
State Land Bank Authority
The State Land Bank Authority works to create a positive economic impact on Michigan communities by recycling land to productive use. We work in a coordinated manner to foster the development of property to promote and support land bank operations at the county and local levels.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to operate at a limited capacity to process and close property applications as best as we can while our physical office is closed. You can still submit applications and we will work hard to recycle properties back to productive use. We can be reached by phone at 517-335-8212 or email at landbank@michigan.gov. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
