| Purchase Property |
| There are several ways to purchase properties in Syracuse that have been, or could be, seized for non-payment of taxes. |
| |
| • |
The fastest way is to look at properties available immediately from the Greater Syracuse Land Bank. |
| |
Listings with sale price, photos and other information for Land Bank properties are available at the Land’s Bank’s website at http://syracuselandbank.org. You can contact their agent and inspect the properties right away. More properties are being added all the time. |
| • |
You can also view a PDF list to see a list of all tax delinquent seizeable properties in the City of Syracuse. |
| |
If a property on this list has not yet been acquired by the Lank Bank, it may be placed in the next round of foreclosures if a buyer expresses an interest in purchasing it. The tax seizure process takes several months, but if the taxes on a property you are interested in aren't redeemed it will be transferred to the Land Bank for sale. If you are interested in any tax delinquent property, please email info@syracuselandbank.org for instructions on how to apply or to be put on the waiting list for the property. |
