The 2024 Suffolk County Real Property Auction will be held online on November 20, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The county says the 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 Suffolk County Executive Ed 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 the past, individuals looking to purchase property were required to attend the in-person, two-day live auction. Additionally, the online vendor-operated format maximizes county resources by allowing county employees to pursue their normal job functions and duties.
Realauction.com, LLC will host the online auction at no cost to the County. The auction website also 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 RealAuction.com and Suffolk County’s 311 call center.
A $325 auction fee per property is paid by the winning bidder.
Approximately 65 parcels are available this year. For a full inventory of properties, click here.
