Learn How to Remove Your Property From the Tax Lien List

With a tax lien sale looming in December, thousands of properties may be on the block because of past-due payments to the city.

To help homeowners learn how they can remove their properties from the list and share updates on the upcoming sale, the Abolish the Tax Lien Sale Coalition is hosting an online meeting tonight, Tuesday, September 14. The group, a citywide coalition that includes community land trusts, housing advocacy organizations and nonprofit developers, is working to abolish the sales.

While the 2020 sale was ultimately cancelled amidst the pandemic and a city task force is reviewing the future of tax lien sales, a 2021 sale will be moving forward on December 14. Approximately 13,000 properties are on the list, including single- and multi-family homes and apartment buildings.
