City of Hammond Launches Residential Lot Portal, Transforming Vacant Land into Vibrant Homes
The City of Hammond, in partnership with the Hammond Redevelopment Commission, is launching a new online portal designed to streamline the process of purchasing and redeveloping City-owned residential lots. This initiative marks a significant step in the city’s ongoing commitment to fostering community growth and transforming vacant land into thriving homes.
The newly launched landing page, accessible at https://www.gohammond.com/property-portal/ , provides a comprehensive and user-friendly inventory of over 500 available City-owned residential lots. Key features of the portal include:
- Interactive Online Map: Potential buyers can easily explore available lots, view zoning information, acreage, and precise location details.
- Detailed Property Information: Each listing includes essential information to assist in informed decision-making.
- Streamlined Application Process: The portal facilitates a straightforward application process and form, making it easier than ever to purchase and redevelop land.
- Direct Contact Information: Access to the Planning & Development Team for personalized assistance and inquiries.
The portal is meant to be user friendly and will be the first step in connecting interested buyers with the city. After the initial application is received a member of the city’s planning and development team will reach out to connect with the potential buyer and discuss how to move forward with the transfer of the property.
“We are committed to facilitating the redevelopment of residential vacant lots within our community. This new portal shows our dedication to creating opportunities for growth and enhancing the quality of life for all Hammond residents,” said Mayor Thomas M. McDermott, Jr. “We are not just building houses, we are building homes.”
