What Montgomery County Land Reutilization Corp. does

Montgomery County Land Reutilization Corp. (Montgomery County Land Bank) is a public authority established in 2011 under Ohio Revised Code Section 1724, created by the Montgomery County Board of County Commissioners at the recommendation of the County Treasurer. Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, the Land Bank acquires, manages, and repurposes tax-delinquent, vacant, abandoned, and foreclosed properties to reduce neighborhood blight and return properties to productive use across Montgomery County. It collaborates with 15+ partner jurisdictions and operates a portfolio of redevelopment programs including DIY Renovation (parcel prices $10K-$24.5K with $2K due diligence fees), Welcome Home Ohio (up to $180K in owner-occupant assistance), Title Enhancement/Resale Program (TERP), Brownfields remediation, Commercial Redevelopment, Land Banking, Planning Grants, Demolition, and property Donations.

The Land Bank's business model is a hybrid public-authority mechanism rather than a commercial revenue model. Structural funding comes from 5% of the County's Delinquent Tax and Assessment Collection (DTAC), which provides a countercyclical operating base tied to tax-delinquency volume. This is supplemented by federal and state grants (recent awards include $6.96M from Ohio Department of Development in 2024, $1.2M USEPA Brownfields Coalition Grant in 2025, $3.4M state brownfield funding in 2025, and $500K from USEPA in 2022) and transactional revenue from property sales, due diligence fees, and developer/contractor partnerships. The pricing model is project-based and grants-driven, with grant-restricted capital allocated to specific brownfield and redevelopment initiatives rather than commercial product lines.

Delivery channels are cross-jurisdictional: the Land Bank works with municipal partners, county agencies, the Ohio Department of Development, USEPA, and local developers/contractors. Distribution is county-wide with targeted neighborhood focus in Madden Hills, Fairview, Dayton View Triangle, and Wolf Creek. Customer segments include owner-occupant buyers (residential), developers and contractors (commercial and DIY), and municipal/government partners (planning grants, demolition). The organization is not a technology company; it is a public-purpose land reutilization authority whose operating leverage comes from statutory authority, DTAC funding, and grant capture rather than from a proprietary technology or commercial product.
