Ogdensburg City Council approves selling two properties at auction

Posted

OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg City Council agreed to put two properties up for auction Monday.

Council approved resolutions to sell a 1.68-acre lot at 1411 LaFayette Street with a starting bid of $16,750. At public hearing held prior one person expressed interest in the property. She stated that she and her husband would like to build a new house on the property.

Council also approved selling a parcel located on a portion of Paper Montgomery Street and is adjacent to Paper Prospect and Paper Barre streets. The starting bid on that property will be $2,550.

A paper street is a term for a roadway that appears on maps but does not actually exist or is no longer actually used as such.

Ogdensburg has been working to sell excess city-owned properties so they can generate tax revenue. In Ogdensburg only 41 percent of the city’s total assessed property value is taxable.
