 Bill Sage to address; Land Banks in Allegan County

Land banks are tools by which local governments can acquire and hold surplus property and return it to the real estate market. Land banks often acquire properties through tax foreclosure, wherein owners lose their properties due to nonpayment of property taxes. Once it acquires a property, a land bank eliminates all liens and past claims on the property and clears the title, effectively preparing the property for sale to a new owner.
