Hampton to join Allegheny County Vacant Property Recovery Program
Summary
Council authorized a cooperative agreement and adopted Resolution No. 1128 to participate in the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County’s Vacant Property Recovery Program, enabling residents to recover tax‑delinquent parcels adjacent to their properties after a County review process.
Hampton Township Council voted unanimously on May 27 to execute a cooperative agreement and adopt Resolution No. 1128 to participate in the Allegheny County Vacant Property Recovery Program.
Manager Ryan Jeroski explained the program lets residents recover vacant parcels adjacent to their properties that have been tax delinquent for at least three years; recovered parcels would be returned to the tax rolls. He cautioned the county’s review process is intensive.
The motion to approve the cooperative agreement and adopt Resolution No. 1128 was made by Mr. Sciulli and seconded by Mr. Midgley; a roll call vote was unanimously in favor.
Council’s action aligns the township with a county program intended to reduce vacancy and return taxable properties to active status; no specific parcels were identified at the meeting.
