Application to Purchase Vacant City-Owned Property

City of South Bend - Department of Community Investment
State law outlines procedures for disposing of property owned by local government. These procedures vary considerably based on several factors such as which entity of the City of South Bend owns the property. Once you’ve identified that the property is owned by the City, we suggest emailing emichaels@southbendin.gov or calling Erin Michaels of the Department of Community Investment at 574-235-5931 for assistance. It is very likely it will take at least three months to complete this process.
