Heirship Land Banking
Houston Land Bank
Heirship service that may temporarily bank eligible clear-title property while a family works to resolve delinquent property taxes.
How to get help
Use the Heirship Program intake form linked from the official page and have the most recent deed, applicable death certificate or will, and recent property-tax statements ready. Program evaluation does not guarantee acceptance of a property, suspension of all liabilities, tax resolution, or title clearance.
Who this service helps
The official page states that a property proposed for banking must have a recorded deed, must have no person residing on it once banked, and requires a signed commitment to resolve delinquent property taxes. Houston Land Bank evaluates each situation and may apply additional requirements.

About this service
As one component of the Heirship Program, Houston Land Bank may temporarily hold an eligible clear-title property to stop additional tax liability from accruing and provide time to address existing delinquencies while preserving the land for future use.
