Summary
New York City is ditching its decades-old tax lien sale system in favor of a new municipal land bank designed to help homeowners stay in their homes. The city council and mayor’s office are pushing this bold move, which aims to buy up tax and water liens, offer payment plans, and even take over neglected properties — all to prevent foreclosures and preserve affordable housing. This shift comes amid a lawsuit from homeowners who lost their homes under the old system, and it marks a major victory for advocates who’ve long demanded reform. With a state approval deadline looming and a powerful board of housing experts in place, the land bank could reshape how New York handles tax debt and property neglect — turning a broken system into a tool for equity and stability.
