Village of Hempstead tax sale, 2026 season

Verified

The Village of Hempstead is a different government from the Town of Hempstead around it, and the distinction decides this page: the town runs no sale (Nassau County's Treasurer collects and sells for the town's taxes), while the village sells liens on its own unpaid village taxes. The Village Board of Trustees set the sale under Village Code section 119-19 and the Real Property Tax Law provision at Chapter 602 of the Laws of 1993, section 6(c), and the Village Treasurer publishes the list of unpaid taxes in the Hempstead Beacon, the village's official newspaper.

The village FAQ states the standing pattern in one line: the lien sale is held every May. The most recent specific date verified from an official source is Thursday, May 4, 2023, set by the Board for unpaid 2022/23 village taxes inside a sale window of April 1 to July 31, 2023, with the unpaid list published in the Beacon on April 14, 21 and 28, 2023. The sale's longevity is corroborated in the judicial record: a 2025 Appellate Division decision documents a village tax sale certificate issued for the May 3, 2018 sale and a village tax deed dated May 5, 2021. No 2024, 2025 or 2026 date, and no money terms for the village sale, are published in the sources read.

Research Village of Hempstead 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 Village of Hempstead, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How the Village of Hempstead tax lien sale works

  • The village sells its own liens. Under Village Code section 119-19 and Chapter 602 of the Laws of 1993, the village sells liens on unpaid village taxes. The seller is the Village Treasurer.
  • It is not the county sale and not the town. Nassau County's lien sale covers county, school and general taxes; the Town of Hempstead runs no sale at all. The village sale covers village taxes only, and its terms are the village's to set.
  • The sale is held every May. The unpaid list is published in the Hempstead Beacon, the village's official newspaper, in the weeks before the sale.
  • The certificate matures into a village tax deed. The judicial record documents the path: a certificate from the May 3, 2018 sale and a village tax deed dated May 5, 2021. The statutory periods were not extracted from an official village source for this page.

How registration works

Not published. No registration procedure for the village sale was found in an official source; the village FAQ directs the public to contact the Village office for the exact sale day, and the Treasurer's office is the source for bidder requirements.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

No money terms for the village sale were found in an official source. The rows below say so, and the warning matters: Nassau County's lien sale terms, its lowest interest bidding and registration fee, cover different taxes and do not carry into the village sale:

Before you bid

The village is the small print of Nassau County tax enforcement: a village of 59,169 people inside a town of 793,409, running its own May sale that most county level research never sees. The working habit is direct contact: the Treasurer publishes the list in the Beacon each spring, and the office, not a website, holds the day and the terms.
