Residents of owner-occupied homes can request vacant lots that share a 75 percent or more common boundary with their own property.
If a lot already is in the Land Bank’s inventory, transfer to eligible applicants may be possible within four months. If a lot is not already in the Land Bank’s inventory, a successful property tax foreclosure action is required – which could take between 9 and 12 months in court – before we are able to transfer the lot to eligible applicants.
Eligible applicants must be current on property taxes owed to Mahoning County, must be in compliance with all local housing and property codes on properties they own in the county, and must not have been the defendant in a property tax foreclosure action. To request a side lot or inquire about eligibility requirements, please call Gary Davenport at (330) 259-1040, and select option 1.
