Town of Somers tax sale, 2026 season

Verified

Somers enforces its own taxes, because in Westchester County there is no one else to do it: the county does not conduct delinquent tax lien sales, and its cities and towns enforce their own. The town collects county, town and school taxes through its Receiver of Taxes, Michele McKearney, named in the town's official directory.

The town also owns a famous piece of this history, and it is history. In the Covey cases, the town foreclosed tax liens in rem in 1952 under a since repealed statute: the proceeding began Thursday, May 8, 1952, judgment entered Monday, September 8, 1952, and the deed to the town was delivered Friday, October 24, 1952. No modern town foreclosure judgment, petition, board authorization or auction notice was found, and a 1952 judgment under former law does not document a modern sale. This page records the structure and the history, and marks the modern sale record not published.

Research Town of Somers 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 Town of Somers, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How Town of Somers tax enforcement is structured

The county runs no sale. Westchester County does not conduct delinquent tax lien sales. Enforcement of a Somers parcel's delinquent taxes sits with the town, which collects through its own Receiver of Taxes.
The town has foreclosed before, in a landmark case. Somers foreclosed in rem in 1952 and defended the judgment to the United States Supreme Court in Covey. The statute it used has since been repealed, and the case is recorded here as history, not as a current calendar.
No modern sale document is published. No modern judgment, petition, authorization or auction notice from the town was found on an official source. This page marks the modern record not published rather than projecting the 1952 proceeding forward.

How registration works

Not published. No modern town sale documents exist in the record found for the town to publish registration terms in.

Before you bid

The trap in Somers is the famous case. Covey makes the town easy to research and easy to misread: it proves the town foreclosed in 1952, under a repealed statute, and says nothing about a modern sale. Anyone working a Somers parcel deals with the town's Receiver of Taxes directly, on the town's current word, not on the case.
