What we do
The Ingham County Land Bank Fast Track Authority is a local governmental authority established by and intergovernmental agreement between the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority and Ingham County. It receives whatever property is left over from the Ingham County Treasurer's annual tax foreclosure process. The Land Bank works to put these properties back onto local tax rolls and into productive use in neighborhoods. It does this by eliminating blighted properties, renovating some properties, building new housing, selling vacant lots, renting some houses and condos,establishing local gardens and otherwise revitalizing neighborhoods.
