New York Tax Lien Certificate Process

There are 62 counties in the state of New York. Tax collections are handled at the county level and by the municipalities that have charters and provisions for the collection of  taxes. Tax lien certificates can be sold, as is the case in New York City and Nassau County. However, some counties and municipalities (e.g., New York City) do not offer liens for sale to individual investors or the general public. Check the rules in your area.
