The Quad Cities Land Bank Authority (QCLBA) is an intergovernmental agency formed in April 2022 by the Illinois Cities of Moline, Rock Island, and East Moline. The City of Silvis joined the organization in March of 2024.

The mission of the QCLBA is to strategically acquire vacant, abandoned, tax delinquent properties, address title liabilities, and facilitate the revitalization of those properties to a productive use consistent with local government plans and priorities.

WHAT WE DO

Land banks work to stabilize communities by returning properties to productive use to support housing, businesses, open space, and revitilization programs.

The QCLBA buys and sells properties in accordance with its policies and procedures. The main source of properties are surplus properties acquired by the County Tax Trustee, and donations from private parties. The land back can also purchase properties from a member community or a private owner.
