Monticello, NY – Legislators unanimously agreed yesterday to reschedule Sullivan County’s 2018 Real Estate Tax Foreclosure Auction to August 29, 2018.
Several last-minute pleas from residents who wanted to repurchase their properties led the Legislature to decide that the auction, typically held in June every year, should be postponed to allow further time for repurchases.
“People fall on hard times, and we as a Legislature understand that,” Chairman Luis Alvarez stated. “We don’t want to unduly burden taxpayers, though there is a process they need to follow.”
