Notice of public hearing of the City of Dallas Urban Land Bank Demonstration Program Plan FY 2024-2025
On March 26, 2025 the Dallas City Council will hold a public hearing in the Council Chambers – 1500 Marilla Street – to receive comments on the proposed City of Dallas FY 2024-2025 Urban Land Bank Demonstration Program Plan. The 2003 Texas Urban Land Bank Demonstration Act allows the Dallas City Council to adopt an Urban Land Bank Program. This program permits the Dallas County officer charged with selling real property ordered sold pursuant to foreclosure of a tax lien to sell certain eligible real property to a land bank created by the City of Dallas. These properties may be conveyed to the land bank by private sale for purposes of affordable housing development or commercial purposes.
The Plan provides a description and procedure for the sale of vacant tax-delinquent property for development of affordable housing to low-income households and for commercial purposes. The Plan includes a list of property addresses that may become eligible for sale to the land bank during 2024-2025 fiscal year. At the close of the March 26 public hearing, the Dallas City Council will consider final approval of the Plan.
A copy of the Plan is available at Dallas City Hall, Housing and Community Development Department, 1500 Marilla Street, Room 2CN, Dallas, Texas, 75201. Citizens may submit written comments regarding the proposed Plan to the Department of Housing and Community Development, 1500 Marilla Street – 6CN, Dallas, Texas 75201 or email HOULandBankLandTransDiv@dallas.gov up to March 23, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Citizens may also view a copy of the plan by accessing the Housing and Community Development internet website.
