Also known as: Databases of Publicly Owned Land Act

Key Points

  • Would require cities and other local governments that get certain federal community grants to keep an online list of land they own that is still undeveloped.
  • The list would have to be public, searchable, and posted on a website so residents, builders, and community groups can easily find these parcels.
  • The goal is to make it easier to see what public land could be used for future projects, like housing or other community needs.
  • This requirement would start October 1, 2026, giving local governments time to build and update the database.
