History of the Land Bank
HISTORY OF THE LAND BANK
The Metro Atlanta Land Bank
The Fulton County/City of Atlanta Land Bank Authority, Inc. (FCCA Land Bank) was created in October 1991 by the City of Atlanta and Fulton County pursuant to State law - O.C.G.A, 48-4-80, et seq. In early 1994, Fulton County and the City of Atlanta entered into an Interlocal Agreement to allow operations of the land bank. This was the fourth land bank established in the United States. The FCCA Land Bank operated within the full boundaries of the City of Atlanta and the unincorporated portions of Fulton County. With the creation of additional cities which in turn incorporated portions of Fulton County, the FCCA Land Bank service area was reduced to the City of Atlanta and the very small remaining areas of unincorporated Fulton County. Keeping this future growth possibility in mind, the FCCA Land Bank started doing business as the Metro Atlanta Land Bank in 2021. The newly formed cities have the opportunity to become members of the Metro Atlanta Land Bank.
