Eligibility & Property Research
We review the property’s adjudication status, required holding period, adjoining ownership, and subdivision restrictions to help determine whether the $1 Program may apply.
How It Works.
From first contact through final recording, RegionSide helps make the adjoining property acquisition process clear, organized, and easier to navigate.
When a Clearer Path Emerges.
You may have noticed the vacant lot next door for years—or even asked about it before—without finding a clear path forward. It was not that the opportunity was overlooked; state and local government requirements had not yet been met. RegionSide follows those changes and reaches out when a neighboring property may be ready to explore.
Identify
We monitor, review, and analyze state and local property records to identify when neighboring vacant properties may become available.
Recognize
When property history, timing, and municipal requirements begin to align, a long-overlooked parcel may present a potential path forward.
Notify
We contact adjoining property owners so they can learn about the potential opportunity and decide whether they want to explore it.
Why You Were Contacted
Your property may put you in a unique position. If RegionSide contacted you, a neighboring property has been identified as having strong potential for an adjoining landowner acquisition program.
Your relationship to that property may place you among the property owners who can pursue the opportunity. Our outreach is intended to make you aware of that potential opportunity and give you the opportunity to determine whether you'd like to take the next step toward confirming eligibility.
The property is next to yours. +
The identified property appears to share a boundary with
property you own.
The property shows potential for eligibility. +
Its adjudication history, status, and timing indicate that
it may meet key program requirements.
Adjoining ownership matters. +
The applicable program is designed to provide qualifying
adjoining property owners with a potential path to acquisition.
Property status and availability indicators. +
The property's status, taxation history, and other available
information suggest that it may be worth evaluating under the
applicable acquisition program.
One Property, Multiple Adjoining Landowners.
Your notification does not necessarily mean you are the only adjoining property owner who may qualify. A vacant property can border multiple parcels, and other adjoining owners may also be notified of the potential opportunity.
Because only one adjoining landowner can ultimately acquire the property, timing can matter. Where the applicable program operates on a first-come, first-served basis, the first qualified adjoining owner to successfully move forward may have the opportunity to purchase it.
If you're interested, we encourage you to begin the eligibility process promptly.
