Ulster County 2024 Tax Auction Records High Proceeds, But Sees Lower Gain as Surplus is Returned to Former Owners Under Changing Legal Landscape
Kingston, NY (July 21, 2025)– Ulster County Comptroller March Gallagher released the Delinquent Real Property Tax Auction Report today. The report focuses on the last auction held in the fall of 2024 and notes that there will not be a tax auction in 2025 as the County works to implement changes in state law covering tax auctions.
Over the last two years, the County has made significant changes to its tax foreclosure and auction process by moving to online auctions, changing the auctioneer and software platforms, enforcing taxes for the Villages of Ellenville and Saugerties going forward, and implementing a legal change to the way auction proceeds are to be handled.
