Westchester County, New York

Where to obtain records

Local city/town tax receiver; New Rochelle Tax Department example

How to find the information

Use the tax receiver for the parcel’s city or town; there is no verified countywide delinquent-account search in this guide. For New Rochelle, the official Tax Department provides online property-tax bills for city, county, school and library taxes; the phone here is New Rochelle only. Yonkers has a separate free property portal and directs delinquent-letter recipients there. For other municipalities, use the state Municipal Data Portal to identify the local collector. County Clerk filings are separate from the current collection ledger.

For existing records, provide the municipality, parcel/Tax ID or SBL (BBL in NYC), tax years, taxing district and desired as-of date. Specify an unpaid collection ledger, dated filed delinquent list, tax-search certificate, foreclosure petition/judgment, auction result, redemption calculation or surplus/proceeds record. Ask which local, county, school, village and special charges are included, whether a charge was re-levied, and how later payments and costs are reflected. Confirm the records custodian and available inspection/electronic-copy process. Ask for existing reports; do not assume a custom countywide extract will be created. Confirm copy, search, certification and extraction charges before ordering.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Westchester County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.

County-specific notes

Verified denotes reviewed published access instructions, including explicit staff-only balance/search routes. It does not certify a tested taxpayer query. Reviewed October 28, 2026. Current annual bills, returned unpaid taxes, re-levied school/village charges, dated filed lists, foreclosure proceedings, auctions of acquired land and surplus proceeds have different scope. Confirm recent payments and the exact record date with the custodian. No taxpayer search, public-credential login, account registration, request submission, payment or owner-list republication was performed.
