ABOUT US
MISSION
The Rome-Floyd Land Bank Authority’s mission is to eliminate all evidence of redlining in the community by creating equitable, inclusive opportunities for all by returning tax delinquent, underutilized and abandoned properties back to a productive use.
PURPOSE
The Land Bank Authority (LBA) is a public entity authorized by state law and created pursuant to an intergovernmental contract between Floyd County and the City of Rome dated February 28, 2017. It is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Floyd County Commission and by the Rome City Commission.
Land banks are public entities with unique governmental powers, created pursuant to state-enabling legislation, that are solely focused on converting problem properties into productive use according to local community goals.
DONATING/CONVEYING PROPERTIES
The Rome-Floyd County Land Bank Authority (RFLBA) is accepting applications from individuals or organizations who are interested in donating or conveying land to the RFLBA. You may submit your information for consideration by filling out an online form here or by contacting the Office of Community Development at 706-236-4477.
