How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in New York
Outside of New York City, New York enforces delinquent property taxes by in-rem judicial foreclosure under Real Property Tax Law Article 11. Rather than selling a lien, the taxing district takes title to the property by court judgment and then resells it at a public, often online, auction. The buyer at that county auction receives a deed with no further owner redemption. New York City is the exception: it bundles delinquent tax liens and sells them in bulk to a single authorized purchaser who collects the debt plus interest — a negotiated transaction not open to retail investors. Following Tyler v. Hennepin (2023), New York counties must attempt to return surplus proceeds to the former owner. Investors should not treat New York as a tax-lien-certificate state; statewide it is deed-by-foreclosure.
Bidding & Auctions
At the county resale auction, bidding is premium bid-up — the property goes to the highest bidder. Counties run these sales through platforms such as Auctions International, Bid4Assets, GovDeals, and NYSAuctions.com, and some hold them in person at the county seat. The New York City lien sale works entirely differently: it is a negotiated bulk transfer to one authorized lien purchaser, not an open auction, so individual investors cannot bid on those liens. Because auction inventory comes from completed foreclosures, the live risk for buyers is notice or due-process defects rather than owner redemption.
Redemption & Penalties
Redemption in New York happens before the foreclosure judgment, not after the auction. The default statutory redemption period is two years from the lien date (RPTL 1110) and ends on the noticed last day to redeem; after that the property is foreclosed and the auction buyer's title is not subject to owner redemption. A district may lengthen the period to three years for residential or farm property, or shorten it to one year for vacant and abandoned residential parcels on the vacant-and-abandoned roll, so the exact window varies by county and should be verified locally. To redeem, the owner pays all taxes, interest, and fees by the statutory or court-set deadline.
See New York Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) Article 11. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

Not yet. We are validating the next publishable Richmond County list. Join the notification list and we will let you know when a verified sample is ready.
Is New York a tax-lien or tax-deed state?▾
Statewide it is effectively a tax-deed state: counties foreclose in-rem under RPTL Article 11 and resell the property at auction. Only New York City runs a tax-lien sale, and that is a bulk transfer to one authorized purchaser, not open to retail investors.
When can the owner redeem in New York?▾
Redemption happens before the foreclosure judgment. The default period is two years from the lien date (RPTL 1110). Once the district takes title by in-rem judgment, the owner cannot redeem and auction buyers take clear of that right.
Does the redemption period ever change?▾
Yes. A district may extend it to three years for residential or farm property, or shorten it to one year for vacant and abandoned residential parcels on the vacant-and-abandoned roll. Always confirm the period with the specific county.
How are New York county tax auctions held?▾
They are premium bid-up sales to the highest bidder, run through platforms like Auctions International, Bid4Assets, GovDeals, and NYSAuctions.com, or in person at the county seat. Timing is county-specific, commonly once or twice a year.
