Databases of Publicly Owned Land Act

This bill amends the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to impose a new requirement on grantees of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. It mandates that these grantees maintain a searchable database on a publicly accessible website . The database must identify all parcels of undeveloped land owned by the grantee, enhancing transparency regarding public land holdings. This provision is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, aiming to provide communities with better access to information for planning and development purposes.
