Dayton Allows Neighbors to Pursue Vacant Lots

Turn Problem Lots Into Assets     
Imagine turning a problem property into a garden, green space or useful addition to your home or property. If there is a vacant lot adjacent to your home or business, it may qualify for Dayton's Lot Links program, which allows participating property owners to acquire an adjoining vacant lot at a low cost in exchange for agreeing to maintain it. In order to be eligible, a property must be unoccupied, at least two years certified tax-delinquent, and located within the Dayton city limits. The City of Dayton manages the legal process of transferring property ownership, and Lot Links participants are required to submit a lot reuse plan. The cost of a lot may be as little as $500.
