Research City of Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How the Mount Vernon tax lien sale works

  • The Comptroller sells the liens, in sessions. Under Section 162 of the Municipal Code, the Office of the Comptroller conducts the sale. Sessions are numbered and successive: Session #3 covered arrears for 2020 and 2021, with a lien date of December 18, 2024.
  • The sale sits in the Council Chambers. Sessions run in person at Mount Vernon City Hall, 1 Roosevelt Square, and the city highly recommends preregistration through its Viewpoint Cloud portal before the day.
  • The purchaser pays 10 percent down. The down payment is 10 percent of the lien amount at purchase, and the balance is due within 15 days, by certified or official bank check payable to the City of Mt. Vernon (December 2025 notice).
  • Owners can exclude a property before the sale. Payment of all taxes, interest and penalties, plus advertising, printing, publishing and posting costs, removes the property from the session.
  • A second track exists on paper. In January 2025 the city authorized in rem foreclosure procedures under Chapter 783 of the Laws of New York. No auction under that track is documented in the sources read.

How registration works

Preregistration through the city's Viewpoint Cloud portal (category 1082) is highly recommended, per the December 2025 notice. A hard registration deadline is not published in the notices read.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

The December 2025 notice publishes the buyer's payment terms directly. Post sale redemption terms are not published in the notices read and are not stated:

Down payment10 percent of the lien amount, at purchase (December 2025 notice)
Balance dueWithin 15 days, by certified or official bank check payable to the City of Mt. Vernon
Buyer premiumNot published: none is stated in the notices read
Deed typeNot applicable at the lien stage: this is a lien sale. Certificate mechanics are not published in the notices read

Before you bid

Mount Vernon rewards session tracking: the lists arrive in numbered sessions covering specific arrears years, so a buyer's research is the session list itself, worked when the notice posts. One caution: the June 2025 notice's deposit line prints unclearly, and the clean 10 percent figure on this page is the December 2025 notice's. Read the current session's notice directly before relying on any number.
