A 2008 study found that Buffalo had the third-highest housing vacancy rate in the nation and it appears that those numbers could climb higher. Over 3,000 Buffalo homeowners and 437 Buffalo business owners will see their Buffalo properties placed on the auction block if they fail to pay back taxes and fees in the coming weeks.

The three-day sale will begin Oct. 26 in the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center and if more than 3,000 properties are up for sale it could be the City’s largest auction to date.

Help for Buffalo Home Owners in Trouble
City officials anticipate that the numbers will decrease as people pay the back taxes and fees or have the sales legally stopped. In an effort to help these home owners there will be several sessions to assist Buffalo home owners on Oct. 21, 22 and 23 in the Erie County Court Building at 25 Delaware Ave.
