Rock Hill, NY – The rescheduled 2018 Sullivan County Real Estate Tax Foreclosure Auction will be held Wednesday, August 29 at the Sullivan Ramada Rock Hill at 283 Rock Hill Drive in Rock Hill.
Sullivan County Treasurer Nancy Buck urges potential bidders – especially first-time bidders – to attend a Bidder’s Seminar on Monday, August 27 at 7 p.m. at the same location. The terms and conditions of the auction will be explained, as will the foreclosure process and associated liens. Questions about specific properties can be answered at that time, as well.
Most properties up for auction can be viewed from public roadways, but selected structures will be personally shown to potential bidders. The schedule of showings will be posted on nysauctions.com and in the County Treasurer’s Office by Friday, August 24. (Work shoes and flashlights are highly recommended, while pets and small children are not allowed.)
Potential bidders who complete the online registration form must submit it by Monday, August 27 at 4 p.m. Those wishing to register in person can do so at the Ramada that same day at 6 p.m. (prior to the Bidder’s Seminar) or the day of the auction, starting at 8 a.m.
The auction itself begins at 9:30 a.m. on August 29. All sales are subject to final approval by the Sullivan County Legislature.
“Interested bidders should ensure they’ve done their homework: personally viewed the property or properties, checked for outstanding liens and assessments like water and sewer, and are familiar with the auction terms and conditions, particularly the taxes and fees for which they will be immediately responsible upon placement of a successful bid or bids,” Buck reminded.
