Program 3: Sheriff/Marshal Deed Program

 Background: The MALB engaged outside counsel to complete Quiet Title Actions on 160 Sheriff/Marshal Deeds (tax deeds). The City of Atlanta authorized $400,000 in funding to the MALB for legal assistance in the clearing of title for the first phase of 40 properties deemed most suitable for construction.  In 2024, title was cleared on 15 of the 40 properties, all of which were vacant lots, to ensure clean, clear title. Marketable titles are now available on all properties.  The MALB listed the first batch of 15 vacant lots for sale with marketable titles to its website and posted on all social media platforms.  Affordable development was a requirement for all lots with pricing based on the Fee Simple Purchase Policy approved by the MALB Board in March 2024. Completion of a purchase application was required for all.
