Welcome!
Monroe County Land Bank Corporation
The Monroe County Land Bank Corporation (MCLBC), was first approved by the County Legislature in November 2023 and was later approved by New York State in early 2024, with the first official meeting held on July 29, 2024. MCLBC aims to lower the number of vacant or “zombie” properties located in the 29 towns and villages of Monroe County by returning them to spaces of productive use for these communities.
The main goals of the MCLBC are to create opportunities for affordable home ownership throughout Monroe County and to remediate unsafe and unsanitary conditions within neighborhoods by eliminating vacant properties. We aim to take a holistic approach to land banking and collaborate with local trade schools to provide hands-on construction experience, and we will work with the 29 municipalities that MCLBC covers to prioritize tax delinquent and tax foreclosed properties to remedy problem properties and create more housing.
According to the NYS Land Bank Act Section 1603 (d), land banks are ineligible to operate in an existing land bank served community. Therefore, MCLBC is not permitted to operate within the City of Rochester.
See Rochester Land Bank Corporation for more details.
