Sec. 373A.209.  SUBSEQUENT RESALE BY LAND BANK.  (a)  Each subsequent resale of property acquired by a land bank under this subchapter must comply with the conditions of this section.
(b)  The land bank must sell a property to a qualified participating developer within the three-year period following the date of acquisition for the purpose of construction of affordable housing for sale or rent to low income households.  If after three years a qualified participating developer has not purchased the property, the property shall be transferred from the land bank to the taxing units who were parties to the judgment for disposition as otherwise allowed under the law.
(c)  Unless the municipality increases the amount in its plan, the number of properties acquired by a qualified participating developer under this section on which development has not been completed may not at any given time exceed three times the annual average residential production completed by the qualified participating developer during the preceding two-year period as determined by the municipality.
(d)  The deed conveying a property sold by the land bank must include a right of reverter so that if the qualified participating developer does not apply for a construction permit and close on any construction financing within the two-year period following the later of the date of the conveyance of the property from the land bank to the qualified participating developer or the expiration of the period specified by the municipality under Section 373A.211(d), the property will revert to the land bank for subsequent resale to another qualified participating developer or conveyance to the taxing units who were parties to the judgment for disposition as otherwise allowed under the law.
