The Hartford Land Bank identifies and acquires vacant, abandoned, tax-delinquent and/or distressed properties in the City of Hartford, Connecticut, to steward their rehabilitation and return to productive community assets. Hartford Land Bank, Inc. is a non-profit corporation.
How a Land Bank Works
We are often asked, “How does a land bank work?” so we created this infographic to explain what happens to many vacant properties, and what can happen instead when a land bank is involved.
A land bank’s role is to identify and acquire vacant, abandoned, and/or deteriorated properties, and to steward their rehabilitation and return to productive community assets.
In 2021 the Hartford Land Bank acquired our first properties from the City of Hartford and we are proud to see them being restored and returned to active community use. We keep in touch with our buyers and celebrate with them as they reach renovation milestones. Homeownership is the ultimate investment in a city, and we are proud of the work we are doing to steward the rehabilitation of these distressed properties, return them to productive community assets, and increase investment and homeownership in Hartford.
If you are interested in one of our properties, please visit the Properties page, which includes all of our current and past inventory of properties and information about how to bid on a property if it is currently available for sale.
You can also sign up for our newsletter to be alerted when properties become available for sale.
We do not sell properties that are not currently in our inventory. If a property is not listed as “For Sale by RFP” on our Properties page, we do not own that property and can’t sell it to you.
