How foreclosure and tax sales work in New York
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
New York uses judicial foreclosure: the lender must sue in court, and the property is sold by a court-appointed referee, usually at the county courthouse.
New York is generally a tax deed state: after taxes go unpaid long enough, the county or city after a tax foreclosure sells the property itself at auction.
New York City sells tax liens in bulk to a trust instead of holding public tax deed auctions.
