How can I acquire a property the township owns?
  • The Township does not have a land dispensation policy in place currently.
  • The Township does not have a comprehensive inventory of Township owned land available for acquisitions.
  • The Development Department is working on this effort, but it will likely be a while before we can effectively transfer properties.  

There are three major components that will play a factor in this policy:

  • The strategies of the soon to be adopted Land Use and Development Plan
  • Redevelopment and reinvestment goals/plans for specific neighborhoods and corridors
  • Classification of individual Township owned properties based on plans

You may submit your name, email, and phone number and the property you are interested in acquiring.   We will contact you if it becomes available.
