Summary: The Village of Ford Heights requests the listed abandoned properties in the Cook County Board of Commissioners No Cash Bid Program. This request package contains fourteen (14) PINs. The request is for twelve (12) parcels of vacant land and two (2) parcels with unoccupied residential structures. The parcels will be used to assist in our efforts to revitalize, stabilize, and decrease vandalism in our community. The vacant lots and houses are located in blighted sections of the community. The Village of Ford Heights will immediately file for tax exempt status on the requested properties once the tax deeds have been issued. Our village attorney will obtain the tax deeds and the Village will bear all legal and other cost associated with the acquisition of these properties.
The Village of Ford Heights agrees to submit to the Cook County Department of Economic Development, No Cash Bid Reports on the status of each property for five (5) years or until development is complete, whichever occurs last. This No Cash Bid Request does not include a Third Party Request as the Village will work to rehab or demolish structures as needed to bring them back to municipal code.
