The Erie County Department of Real Property Tax Services is postponing this year’s annual foreclosure auction because of the state’s Covid-19 restrictions on public gatherings.
Initially delayed until Dec. 10 due to the pandemic, Real Property Tax Services is now postponing the event until 2021 due to pandemic restrictions that limit attendance at indoor events.
“We hold the annual foreclosure auction, usually in the fall, on properties that have delinquent taxes overdue for more than two years … but with the ongoing pandemic that will not be possible,” said Director Scott A. Bylewski in a prepared statement. “With attendance at indoor events still limited to 50 people or fewer, we cannot hold a fair auction indoors at this time. Accordingly, we are now hoping to hold the auction sometime in the first half of 2021.”
