institutions.
Low cost land, tax abatement, affordable utilities and low interest home purchase loans have
encouraged new housing construction in the city of Cleveland.

O
wning a newly constructed home has
become a reality for
Clevelanders of all
ages and financial
circumstances. More so now than
ever before, mortgage loans are
available because of investments
the City has negotiated with the
lending institutions.
Low cost land, tax abatement,
affordable utilities and low interest
financial loans are ways in which
the City of Cleveland has encouraged new housing construction.
As a first time home builder in the
City of Cleveland’s neighborhoods,
we are pleased to welcome you and
look forward to the opportunity to
acquaint you with the City’s Single
Family Residential Construction
Process.
The process is handled through
the Department of Community
Development’s Housing Development Office (HDO). The HDO is
the City’s new construction liaison
and provides developers, builders
and individuals with start to finish
development assistance focusing
on site assembly, financial, design,
technical construction assistance
and tax abatement.
Step I
SITE ASSEMBLY
As with any new construction project, the first step entails identification of a building site. One mechanism offered by the City to facilitate residential development projects is the sale of City-owned Land
Bank parcels at $100.00 per parcel.
Interested applicants may call the
Department’s Land Bank Office at
(216) 664-4126 for more information on the process.
Step II
LAND BANK
The criteria for the sale of City
Land Bank property is as follows:
The buyer must complete a Land
Bank application.
The buyer must have a pre-commitment letter from a financial
institution.
The house design, site plan, landscape plan, materials and color
selections must conform with the
City’s Residential Design Guidelines & Housing Construction
Standards and be approved by
the Housing Design Review
Subcommittee, and/or neighborhood design review committee,
and Landmarks Commission.
The builder must be a registered
contractor with the City of
Cleveland and furnish information
on the company’s precise name,
business address and phone number, principals, organizational
structure, and provide evidence of
construction financing.
A copy of the purchase agreement, standard features and
upgrades must be provided prior
to tranfer of the land.
A final end loan commitment letter must be provided.
Step III
DESIGN REVIEW
At this point the home buyer should
have been pre-qualified by a financial institution or lender, have three
copies of site plans, elevations (all
four sides), floor plans (basement
through attic), and contextual photographs of the neighborhood surrounding the proposed building site
within a 250 foot radius ready to
submit for Housing Design Review
Subcommittee.
Step IV
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
In addition to the affordable land
costs offered through the Land
Bank Program, financial assistance
may be offered to the homebuyer in
the form of a second mortgage.
Through a partnership between the
City and a participating neighborhood-based non-profit, second
mortgage funds ranging from
$3,000 to $10,000 may be available. The City also offers a hybrid
of the second mortgage loan which
allows up to $2,000 of the loan
amount to be diverted, in the form
of a grant, towards closing costs.
The second mortgage is structured
as a deferred loan, which is due and
payable upon the sale, lease or
transfer of the property at 0% interest. Penalties and interest charges
are invoked on a prorated scale during the first five (5) years of the
loan, if the homebuyer transfers
title or refinances. The homebuyer
must be approved by the neighborhood-based non-profit to participate in this program.
If you are planning to build a home,
contact the City of Cleveland’s
Housing Development Office at
(216) 664-2869. Experienced
development officers will be able to
assist you in the home building
process.
