City of Canandaigua tax sale, 2026 season

Verified

Canandaigua's tax sale has no bidders, by design. The city is an Article 11 opt-out city on the state list, and under its own procedure the City Treasurer declares the delinquent liens sold to the City of Canandaigua itself: the city receives certificates of sale, and after twelve months the city is entitled to foreclose. Ontario County's own Article 11 petition heads its schedule Excluding City Parcels, and the city school district turns unpaid school taxes for city properties over to the City Treasurer after December 31.

The most recent sale is fully documented: on Friday, December 19, 2025, the Treasurer sold the liens on the published delinquent list for unpaid 2025 taxes, special assessments and water rentals to the city, for the aggregate amounts in the list, with a per-parcel fee of $125. This page records that mechanism exactly as the city publishes it; there is no public auction to calendar, and no 2026 notice was located.

Research City of Canandaigua parcels before you bid

A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across City of Canandaigua, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How City of Canandaigua tax sales work

The city buys its own liens. At the annual sale the City Treasurer declares the delinquent liens sold to the City of Canandaigua itself and the city receives certificates of sale describing each parcel, the sum paid and the amount due. Ontario County excludes city parcels from its own foreclosure petition.
Redemption runs at 1 percent per month. An owner redeems by paying the Treasurer, for the use of the purchaser, the certificate sum with interest at 1 percent per month from the day of sale, plus later taxes the city paid, also at 1 percent per month, and the apportioned publication and filing expenses, by cash, certified check, bank draft or money order.
Foreclosure opens after twelve months. After twelve months from the last day of the sale, the city is entitled to foreclose. No public auction or other disposition of parcels the city acquires is documented in the sources read.

How registration works

Not applicable. The city is the sole purchaser at its sale; no bidder registration exists.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

The published terms are the owner's redemption terms, because the city is the buyer. The rows below carry them as the city publishes them:

Redemption interest	1 percent per month from the day of sale on the certificate sum, and on taxes, assessments or water rentals the city paid between the sale and redemption, per the city's 2025 sale notice.
Per-parcel fee	$125 per parcel, per the published delinquent list.
Redemption payment form	Cash, certified check, bank draft or money order to the Treasurer. To stop the sale of a lot, payment must reach the Treasurer's Office before the date of sale.
Buyer premium / third-party purchase terms	Not applicable and not published. There is no public bidding at the city's sale.

Before you bid

Canandaigua breaks the usual tax sale reflex: there is nothing to bid on. The city's sale moves liens from delinquent owners to the city itself, and the live questions are the owner's ones, the December sale date, the 1 percent monthly redemption clock, and the foreclosure that opens twelve months later. A buyer watching Canandaigua is watching for a later disposition the city has not documented, not for an auction.
