The Side Lot program is exclusive to Detroit homeowners. Buyers must own an occupied home adjacent to the Side Lot (left, right, or rear of the house). Buyers must also be current on property taxes or in compliance with a tax payment plan and no outstanding blight tickets.

More than 10K Side Lots are currently listed for sale, and new listings are added every month - which means there's still a lot of opportunity to invest in the community and transform blighted, vacant parcels into green space. Learn more at buildingdetroit.org
