Land Bank 101: Understanding the State Land Bank Authority

The State Land Bank Authority was created in 2004 through bipartisan legislation to give communities a tool for addressing vacant, abandoned, and tax-foreclosed properties.

At its core, the State Land Bank helps turn properties that once dragged down neighborhoods into productive spaces that support the community and the local tax base. The State Land Bank continues working hard to support industrial, commercial, rural and urban properties.

The Basics

Why it exists: To address vacant and foreclosed properties in Michigan.
How it works: The State Land Bank holds, manages and redevelops properties while supporting local land banks with funding, guidance and resources.
Who’s involved: Today, 53 counties and 3 cities in Michigan have their own local land banks, working alongside us to serve their communities.
