We take Ashland County’s old, neglected, empty spaces and turn them into amazing places for people to live, work, and play, places for:
County projects
Community projects
We make it easy for people to invest in our county by quickly getting rid of any red tape problems and improving the property.
We make sure the property is safe for everyone.
When it’s time to sell, we make sure the community is happy, not just the person who pays the most money.
We do the hard work it takes to return clean lots to market, making Ashland County more beautiful for every resident and increasing your property’s value!
Let’s turn old, ugly spaces into new, amazing opportunities with the Ashland County Land Bank!
At the Ashland County Land Bank, we transform vacant, distressed, and tax-foreclosed properties into vibrant community assets. Whether it’s a run-down house, an overgrown lot, or a neglected commercial space, we bring these properties back to life for the benefit of everyone in Ashland County.
We focus on reclaiming and revitalizing properties to
Stabilize property values
Reduce neighborhood blight
Return properties to productive use
We don't want to hold onto properties indefinitely, but rather to transfer them to individuals who are genuinely enthusiastic and capable of owning them.
We are not simply selling land. We're providing opportunities for deserving individuals.

The Ashland County Land Bank was born out of a necessity to combat the growing number of abandoned and neglected properties within our community. Established in 2018, our board of directors, including community leaders and dedicated volunteers, identified their mission to turn eyesores into assets.
Ever since, we’ve been driven by a simple yet profound goal of making Ashland County a more beautiful, safe, and economically vibrant place to live. With each property we reclaim, we take another step toward achieving this vision.
Our board consists of passionate individuals who are dedicated to the cause of revitalizing our county
