Land Bank Data The purpose of the Wyandotte County Land Bank is to return tax delinquent and distressed property to productive uses that benefit the community. Wyandotte County typically has around 2,000 properties listed on the county’s land bank program. The properties available can be purchased at a very low cost for commercial or personal use. In the selected area of study there are currently 175 properties available for sale at an average value of 19.6 cents per square foot. This is incredibly low when compared to the average property price in Kansas City, MO. One reason that some of this property is so inexpensive is because the land is not suitable for building on. Our goal is to find what ways we can use this incredibly inexpensive property within the community for improvement purposes. By using the land for improvement purposes, and returning it to productive uses. This would start generating taxes in the community and eliminate eyesores that are lowering the surrounding property values at the same time.
