ABOUT THE LAND BANK
​
The Williams County Land Reutilization Corporation (WCLRC), also known as the Williams County Land Bank, was incorporated in July 2016. The quasi-governmental entity was formed to address vacant, blighted, abandoned, and tax delinquent properties throughout the County. The Land Bank can acquire properties through tax foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, private donation, purchase, and other means. The goal of the Williams County Land Bank is to improve the quality of neighborhoods, increase land values, create diverse housing opportunities, and return properties to the tax rolls.
