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.

“The County has made notable progress in modernizing the delinquent property auction process and addressing potentially hazardous uncollectible properties,” said Comptroller March Gallagher. “But we urge the County to continue to review those properties that have languished with years of delinquency with no foreclosure or sale and move them to auction as quickly as possible. Moving these properties to auction helps relieve the taxpayer burden and improves our communities.”
