City of Yonkers tax sale, 2026 season

Verified

Yonkers sells liens, not property, on a calendar written into its City Code. Article XIX of the code, Sales of Tax Liens for Taxes and Assessments, provides that liens unpaid for one year are sold at public auction, and Westchester County does not enforce in its place: the county conducts no delinquent tax sales, and its cities and towns run their own. The Commissioner of Finance conducts the Yonkers sale personally; the code uses no auctioneer and charges no auctioneer fee.

The code cycle is the only schedule published: first publication of the sale notice on or before December 31 of each year, published six successive weeks, with the sale following at public auction not more than six months after first publication. No dated sale notice for 2024, 2025 or 2026 was found on the city's website in the sources read, so this page publishes the code's calendar and terms, and no specific date.

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

How the Yonkers tax lien sale works

Liens unpaid for one year are sold. Article XIX of the City Code makes a tax lien that has remained unpaid for one year eligible for sale. What is sold is the lien, not the property.
The calendar is in the code. First publication of the sale notice falls on or before December 31 of each year and runs six successive weeks; the sale follows at public auction not more than six months after first publication.
Bidding is the rate down from 12 percent. Liens are sold to the bidder offering the lowest interest rate, never exceeding 12 percent per annum.
The Finance Commissioner runs the sale personally. No auctioneer is used and no auctioneer fee is charged, which is why there is no buyer premium in the terms below.
The purchaser pays in two steps. A deposit of 10 percent of the lien amount at the time of sale, and the balance within 10 days, both to the Commissioner of Finance.

How registration works

Not published. The code extracts read for this page set the sale's calendar and money terms but no bidder registration procedure, and no dated sale notice was found to supply one. Registration terms, when a sale is noticed, come with the notice.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

The code publishes the money terms of the lien sale itself, which is more than most lien cities publish. Post sale redemption and foreclosure mechanics were not extracted from an official source for this page and are not stated:

Deposit	10 percent of the lien amount, paid at the time of sale to the Commissioner of Finance (City Code Article XIX)
Balance due	Within 10 days of the sale, to the Commissioner of Finance
Interest rate bidding	Liens are sold to the lowest interest rate bid, not exceeding 12 percent per annum
Buyer premium	None. The Commissioner conducts the sale personally; no auctioneer is used and no auctioneer fee is charged
Deed type	Not applicable at the lien stage: this is a lien sale, not a deed sale. Certificate mechanics beyond the code extracts read are not published here

Before you bid

The discipline in Yonkers is calendrical. The code promises a notice by December 31 and a sale within six months of first publication, but the city publishes no dated notice in the sources read, so the buyer's task is to watch for the publication itself. A caution from the research: a Williams and Williams terms document circulating for a Yonkers property auction (10 percent premium, quitclaim deed) concerns a city owned property auction, a different sale, and none of its terms belongs on this page.
