Identifying a Property

Applicants must identify a potential property. The program does not maintain a list of all properties that may be eligible. However, some municipalities may keep vacant property inventories or might otherwise be able to assist you in your search. The Real Estate website contains property information that may be helpful.

Once you have identified a specific property you would like to acquire, contact us and we will let you know if the property appears to be a potential candidate for the program.
