About the Program
OMLB’s disposition process grants it the unique ability to prioritize the sale of properties based on a proposed project for a parcel, community needs, buyer’s credibility, or the redevelopment area.
Land banks can help resolve some of the toughest barriers that keep properties stuck in decline and assist in reestablishing property markets, stabilizing property values, and returning properties to productive use after sudden shocks or long-term declines. The Omaha Municipal Land Bank (OMLB) is a nonprofit that aims to empower Omaha to create sustainable communities through the equitable transformation of problem properties.
With each lot transformation activated and sold for development, the neighborhood grows one step closer to moving the needle in addressing the housing shortage needs.
To ensure properties are put to productive use, OMLB monitors redevelopment plans to ensure that vacant lots are redeveloped within two years and houses are renovated within nine months.
