Rule Changes

Proposed significant changes to the land bank in 2025.

Detroit residents who tried to buy land bank homes often hit city holds, unclear answers and rehab costs they could not gauge. On Nov. 9, Mayor Mary Sheffield ordered the release of city holds on 7,500 land bank properties and announced buyer vetting, free property tours, $1.5 million renovation grants and a public tracker for 56,000 parcels.
