60 Properties to be Auctioned by Broome County

Binghamton, NY – Broome County Executive Debbie Preston and Real Property Director David Hamlin announced details of the upcoming auction of tax foreclosure properties in Broome County.

The auction is Saturday, November 5th, at the Holiday Inn, Binghamton (2-8 Hawley Street) starting at 10:00 am.

Auction bidders must register between 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM that morning.

“These auctions are a perfect way for young families to find a new home at an affordable price, which they can then renovate and grow into,” says Broome County Executive Debbie Preston.  “This process helps clean up blight in our community and puts properties back on the tax rolls, which will benefit all taxpayers in Broome County.”

The County will auction off 60 properties, including single family homes, multi-family homes, vacant lots and more.

“We want to remind people that it is their responsibility to investigate all aspects of the parcel before committing to purchasing it,” says Real Property Director Dave Hamlin.  “We encourage all buyers to look carefully at each parcel before bidding on it because it may have code violations that will need to be addressed by the new owner.”

Housing built before 1978 may contain lead based paint.  Lead from paint chips and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly.

The Broome County Health Department has information available at each County Auction for prospective bidders to review.

Maps of each parcel are available for viewing in the office of the Broome County Real Property Tax Department, second floor in the County Office Building, 44 Hawley Street, Binghamton, NY, during regular business hours.
