There is a property in my neighborhood that is blighted, when will you have it for sale?

61 Charlotte Street

Reducing the number of blighted, vacant properties in our neighborhoods is a key part of our mission. At this time, we do not purchase properties outright. Abandoned and tax-delinquent properties are transferred to us by the City of Hartford once:

      • The City has taken possession of the property;
      • The Department of Development Services has made a determination about the property; and
      • Hartford City Council has voted to transfer the property.

​

If there is a specific property in your neighborhood that you have concerns with, you can take these steps:

      • Find out who owns the property via the City Assessor’s website.
      • Reach out to your NRZ (you can find this out on Hartford NEXT’s website) for assistance in addressing property issues with the property owner.
      • Giving neighborhoods a voice in addressing blight is one of the reasons NRZs were first created by the CT State Legislature.
      • Contact the City’s Office of Community Engagement for assistance in addressing property issues with the property owner.

If the parcel is owned by the City of Hartford, you can contact the Department of Development Services. They are the department that makes recommendations for parcels to be transferred to HLB.

Please visit the Properties page of our website to see all available properties. We do not sell properties that are not currently in our inventory. If a property in Hartford is not listed as “For Sale by RFP” on our website, we do not own that property and can’t sell it to you.
