The City of Peoria Side Lot Program helps property owners purchase small, city-owned vacant lots next to their homes. Anyone who owns a property that touches a City of Peoria-owned lot may apply. All city-owned lots can be viewed at the Land Bank Lot Map.
This program boosts property values and decreases the burden on the City of Peoria to take care of these small vacant lots. This means more money and resources can be put towards other City services.
Call the Land Bank Manager at (309) 494-8622 to purchase a side lot.
