Pittsburgh councilperson looks to reestablish Side Yard Sale Program
The reestablished program would increase transparency about lot acquisition costs. Pittsburgh councilperson Bob Charland has introduced legislation to reestablish the Side Yard Sale Program, a program suspended for the last two years. The program provides a simplified process for owner-occupants to acquire adjacent city-owned parcels at below-market prices. The legislation aims to increase transparency about lot acquisition costs and address misconceptions that side lots can be purchased for a fixed price of $200. The city’s Finance Department is developing a calculator to help buyers estimate total expenses of acquiring a lot, including variable fees such as the deed transfer tax. The goal is to make city processes user-friendly, encourage neighborhood investment, promote the productive reuse of vacant parcels and return properties to municipal tax rolls.
