The 2025 Suffolk County Real Property Auction will be held online on December 10 and 11, beginning at 9:30 a.m. 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, according to the county executive’s office.
Approximately 100 parcels are available this year. For a full inventory of properties, please click here.
“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 fourth 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, two-day live auction. Additionally, the online format reduces staff time and maximizes county resources, allowing county employees to prioritize their normal job functions and duties.
Suffolk County selected the vendor Realauction.com, LLC in September 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.
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 both the Suffolk County RealAuction.com website 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.
Registration is open until December 3. To register, click here.
