The VLB Veterans Land Loan Program is the only one of its kind in the nation. Texas Veterans and Military Members can bid in our quarterly land sales held every January, April, July, and October. The bonds used to fund the program are retired from loan repayments and the cost of administering the program is financed through a small fee charged on each loan. The program is easy to use and offers Texas Veterans and Military Members exclusive financing towards the purchase of their own piece of Texas.
