A Proud Tradition

What We Do

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.

A Brief History

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.
