The Kankakee Regional Land Bank Authority is an intergovernmental land bank formed to acquire, hold, and convey for development parcels that are or may be at risk of becoming vacant, abandoned, and tax-delinquent in Kankakee County. Our government members include Kankakee County and the City of Kankakee. Membership is open to any government in Kankakee County

KRLBA acquires properties through various means, including judicial transfers, negotiated acquisitions from private parties, donations, or transfers from local governments. Once acquired, KRLBA works to clear any title issues and prepares each property for sale and redevelopment. All acquisitions and dispositions are governed by our policies and priorities and most properties with structures are sold with deed restrictions requiring rehab for occupancy within 12 months of legal transfer.

KRLBA is governed by a 7-person board of directors and staffed by an executive director, with additional staff support provided by contractors. We receive significant in-kind support from city and county staff, for which we are immensely grateful.
