considerably based on several factors such as which entity of the City of South Bend owns the property. Once
you’ve identified that the property is owned by the City, we suggest emailing jrmolnar@southbendin.gov or calling
Joseph Molnar of the Department of Community Investment at 574-245-6052 for assistance. It is very likely it will
take at least three months to complete this process.
