City of Glens Falls tax sale, 2026 season

Verified

Glens Falls carries two of its own mechanisms, both in its own documents. Its Charter, Article XII, runs a tax sale with an unusual shape: each parcel is sold at public auction to the first bidder of the amount due the city, not to the highest bidder above it, the purchaser pays the Controller immediately after strike-off, and if no bid of the amount due is made, the Controller bids the parcel in for the city. Alongside the charter sale, the city forecloses under Article 11 in its own name: its Petition and Notice of Foreclosure of January 2, 2019 (Index No. 64866) named the City Controller as Enforcing Officer, with a last day for redemption of Friday, April 5, 2019.

No dated charter sale was found in the sources read, and no sale after the 2019 proceeding is verified; the charter terms below are the standing published procedure, stated as such. Warren County's enforcement, where it applies, is a separate desk and does not govern city taxes.

Research City of Glens Falls parcels before you bid

A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across City of Glens Falls, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How City of Glens Falls tax enforcement works

The charter sale takes the first full bid, not the highest. Under Charter section 12.24.1 the parcel goes to the first bidder of the amount due the city; there is no bidding above the amount due, and payment to the Controller is due immediately after strike-off.
No bid means the city takes it. If no bid of the amount due is made, the Controller bids the parcel in for the city; the Common Council then has care and control and may lease, sell and convey it. The Controller executes a certificate of each sale in triplicate (section 12.24.2).
The city also forecloses under Article 11. Its 2019 petition (Index No. 64866) ran in the city's own name for 2017 taxes, with redemption to the Enforcing Officer through April 5, 2019. City taxes are due February 1 and are levied with the county tax in two installments (section 12.18.1).

How registration works

Not published in the sources read. Under the charter, an owner avoids the sale by paying the Controller the taxes plus fees, interest and expenses before it (section 12.22.2).

Terms: what a bid actually costs

The charter publishes the sale's core money rule and no deposit or premium schedule; the rows below separate the two:

Bid and payment (Charter section 12.24.1)	The parcel is sold to the first bidder of the full amount due the city, payable to the Controller immediately after strike-off. There is no premium bidding above the amount due
Deposit	Not published; the charter procedure publishes none.
Buyer premium	Not published; the charter procedure publishes none.
Certificate (Charter section 12.24.2)	The Controller executes a certificate of each sale in triplicate: the original filed with the Warren County Clerk, a copy to the purchaser

Before you bid

Glens Falls is not a premium-bid market: under the charter the discipline is speed at the amount due, not depth of pocket above it, and the city stands as the automatic buyer of anything nobody bids on. The second route matters as much as the sale: the city has used its own Article 11 foreclosure, so an owner's real deadline can be a foreclosure redemption date (April 5, 2019 in the verified proceeding), not a sale day.
