Cleveland Land Bank
The City’s Land Bank Program is designed to acquire vacant land and market it for redevelopment.
The Division of Neighborhood Development works to improve and maintain the built environments in our neighborhoods.
The Division supports the construction and rehabilitation of safe, affordable, and equitable housing in the city, along with commercial building rehabilitation and the maintenance and disposition of vacant land.
Programs

Tax Abatement
The City’s Residential Tax Abatement program temporarily eliminates 100% of the increase in real estate property taxes that results from specific improvements on eligible residential/housing projects (remodeling or new construction).
