Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine announced today the 2024 Suffolk County Real Property Auction will be held online on Wednesday, November 20, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The Suffolk County Real Property Auction helps to relieve the tax burden for taxpayers and provides an unparalleled opportunity for individuals to become property owners in Suffolk County at a reasonable cost.
“Suffolk County continues to explore opportunities to make this County more affordable for our residents,” said Romaine. “By embracing modern technology and creating more opportunities for its residents and taxpayers to potentially become homeowners through this online platform, we are taking another step towards achieving that goal.”
The auction will be hosted online for the third time. The format allows for greater participation, as those looking to purchase property do not need to be present. In prior years, individuals looking to purchase property were required to attend the in-person, 2-day live auction. Additionally, the online vendor-operated format maximizes County resources by allowing County employees to pursue their normal job functions and duties.
Suffolk County selected the vendor Realauction.com, LLC in July 2024 to host the online auction. There is no cost to the County. A $325 auction fee per property is paid by the winning bidder.
Registration is open until Wednesday, November 13, 2024. To register, click here.
The auction website hosts training webinars and provides information on how to register and navigate the online public auction. All properties are viewable online using GIS access on RealAuction.com and on Suffolk County’s website. Additionally, telephone help desk services are available both through the auction vendor RealAuction.com and through the Suffolk County 311 call center.
Approximately 65 Parcels are available this year. For a full inventory of properties, click here.
