Donate a Property

Property donation is a way for many to release themselves from the liability of an unwanted or too- expensive-to-maintain property. As an alternative to allowing your property to become another unkept or blighted property, consider donating your property to the City of Baltimore. This can help both your own personal interest and the investment of the neighborhood. The owner should be able to pay the fixed settlement expense cost of $600.00

Our staff includes real estate, tax and legal consultants who have the expertise to handle property donation. If your property is accepted, we can make the donation process simple and convenient.

We're GIVING YOU ACCESS to Water!!

Thinking about how you are going to water your new green space or garden? The City has partnered with the Water Department to give adopt-a-lot participants access to water for a low fixed-rate of $120.00 per garden season (March 1st thru November 30th)

Important Dates!

February 25th 2013 Garden Season Opens!! Start submitting applications!

March 1st - Applications are reviewed and service requests for installs will start being sent to the Water Department

October 1st - Last day to submit water access application

November 30th - Garden Season Ends and service requests will start being sent to the Water Department to remove service

How does it all work?

Once you submit your application, you will receive a water access agreement via email within 7-10 business days. You will print, sign and mail the form back in with the $120 payment made payable to the Director of Finance and referencing the garden name in the memo line. Once received, an inspector will go assess the property for water availability. If water is available, the inspector will install and will contact you to provide instruction on how to use it. If water access is not available, your original $120 payment will be returned to you with information for other option.
