New York Tax Lien & Tax Deed Auctions
Every New York county we track, with its next sale date, platform, and rules — each field sourced directly from the county or state's official page and re-verified on a rolling basis.
New York law (NY RPTL Art. 11 + county tax acts): Enforcement varies widely by county: many run tax-deed foreclosures, some (Suffolk) have the county buy all liens, and a few (Nassau) run a genuine retail lien-certificate auction with bid-down interest set by local code.
