City of Rochester Vacant Lot Sales Program & Map of City-owned Real Estate

This website assists residents in accessing or purchasing one of the 3,400 City-owned vacant lots in Rochester for temporary or permanent projects. Some lots are sold for large development projects, many are used as community gardens, and many more are waiting for their hidden potential to be realized. Featured is a live map that shows every property owned by the City. While some City-owned properties will be retained for City use, others are held for future development, and some are available for sale via public auctions or requests for proposals. Residents can enter an address or click a parcel on the map to bring up details on the selected property. Only properties currently owned by the City will have information available. Cities may use this as an example of how to make data available to residents in their own area.
