The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) seeks proposals for small- to medium-scale infill development to increase housing supply, restore the urban fabric, and improve density and walkability. Buyers should consult proposal guidelines for new-build opportunities and review relevant Neighborhood Framework Plans from the City of Detroit's Planning and Development Department for additional neighborhood context. The DLBA is entitled to tax capture for the 5 tax years after ownership transfer, which may be incompatible with other tax abatements. The DLBA will review requests to waive its tax capture rights and may require a payment in lieu of taxes.
