The Erie County Land Bank works to return abandoned, tax‑delinquent, and blighted properties to productive use, strengthening neighborhoods and supporting long‑term community revitalization. By partnering with local governments, residents, and nonprofit organizations, we help transform problem properties into opportunities—whether through rehabilitation, demolition, or responsible resale. Our goal is to create safer, more stable communities across Erie County by reducing blight, encouraging investment, and making it easier for residents to envision a brighter future for their neighborhoods.
