PUBLIC AUCTION ENDS WITH OVER 60 PROPERTIES SOLD


Today’s Ulster County Public Auction has been completed with nearly fifty (50) properties being redeemed or removed before the auctioneer, George Cole began the sale.
All of the listings were at least three years in arrears, with two of them owing taxes since 1995.

While the numbers are being reviewed, it appears that there was strong interest in a variety of parcels, including vacant, residential and commercial property.

Two such parcels that were subject to stiff competitive bidding were a 2.7 acre piece in the Town of Esopus that had $17, 274.00 in outstanding taxes that went for $82,000.00 and a 7 acre piece in Wawarsing that sold for $110,000.00 and had unpaid taxes of $45,595.12

Over one hundred people registered to bid and the entire event ran smoothly under the Direction of Commissioner of Finance Paul Hewitt, Deputy Commissioner Burt Gulnick Jr. and Public Auction Coordinator Diane Stauble.
