Belleville’s Real Property Acquisition and Disposition Policy states that the City “will maintain a public register which lists all of the Real Property owned by the municipality.”
Belleville’s urban boundary encompasses 4,087 hectares of land, and the City owns and maintains 327 parcels of real property covering 745 hectares including parkland, open space, stormwater management facilities, parking lots, trails, and vacant lands.
All properties can be found on the B Connect Map under the All Map Data drop down > City Owned Lands.
City-Owned Land Inventory Review
The City of Belleville initiated a City-Owned Land Inventory Review as part of the City’s successful Housing Accelerator Fund application.
The goal is to equip Council and the municipality with the necessary information to effectively manage and potentially utilize any surplus lands within the inventory. The City-Owned Land Inventory Review aims to identify surplus lands for potential housing development, directly addressing Belleville’s affordable housing demand and promoting efficient land use for the community’s benefit.
Belleville’s Official Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy for managing land use patterns, with a strong focus on addressing evolving housing needs.
The project serves as a guide for further investigation and Council consideration, addressing key challenges like the demand for affordable housing and efficient land use into the future.
