How many Shelter Island parcels appeared on a recent tax-auction list?

This page shows Shelter Island parcels that appeared on a recent Suffolk County tax-auction list, sourced from the county comptroller. These lists are published periodically, not daily — the data reflects the most recent list we've indexed (as of September 2026), not a live auction schedule.

Are these properties definitely going to auction?

Not necessarily. Appearing on a county auction list means a parcel reached the tax-foreclosure stage — but owners frequently pay off (redeem) their arrears right up until the sale, so many listed parcels never actually go to auction. Always confirm a parcel's current status with the Suffolk County comptroller before relying on it.

How do Suffolk County tax auctions work?
