Note: The deadline to apply for exemptions in order to be removed from the lien sale has passed. |
Certain current property tax exemptions or credits may result in the removal of your property from the tax lien sale at risk pool. If you believed that you were eligible for a senior citizen, disabled homeowner, or veterans exemption or if you received the New York State circuit breaker credit for tax year 2017, you needed to complete a Lien Sale Property Exemption Application and return it to DOF no later than May 17, 2018. If you were not sure whether you qualified for an exemption, you needed to complete an Exemption Eligibility Checklist and return it to us as soon as possible. If we believed you qualified for an exemption that may have removed your property from the at risk pool, we would have asked you to fill out the Lien Sale Property Exemption Application by May 17.
More information on property tax exemptions, including exemptions that benefit an owner but do not remove a property from the tax lien sale at risk pool, is available here.
The Department of Finance, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) held outreach events in every borough to provide owners with one-on-one assistance with their lien sale questions and issues.

When we publish the 90-day Lien Sale Notice, some homeowners receive loan offers they did not request. Be careful if you receive a loan offer after the list is published. The offer may not be in your best interest.
Dishonest lenders know that if your property is on the lien sale list, you owe the City money. These lenders try to take advantage of your financial situation, and you could lose your property. Be sure to research all lenders, seek guidance from independent sources, and be careful. Do not risk losing your home to a predatory lender if you cannot pay back the money you borrow.
Report mandated by Local Law No. 14, which required the Mayor and the City Council to form a temporary joint task force to review and evaluate the Lien Sale Program.
