The City of Portland's treasurer will hold a foreclosure sale of vacant and neglected properties located throughout Portland. The public auction will take place in-person at Portland City Hall at 1221 SW 4th Ave. on Monday, June 16, at noon and currently includes six privately-owned properties, all greenlit for foreclosure by City Council.

The City of Portland is committed to resolving outstanding issues for properties and inviting new bidders to consider investment opportunities.

1300 N River St is currently on the City's foreclosure list.

"Vacant and distressed properties often present major problems for the neighbors and neighborhoods in our community. When property owners are unwilling to work with us to correct the code violations, foreclosure sales are one tool that can help move properties back into productive use" said Kevin Foster the City's foreclosure prevention manager.

Included in the June 16 sale are properties that have been included in previous foreclosure sales without attracting winning bids, as well as new properties-presenting a unique opportunity for buyers interested in investing in Portland's neighborhoods.

Properties are recommended for the foreclosure process after months to years of unpaid code violation fines and liens. Decisions about seeking foreclosure are also based on a property's negative or unsafe neighborhood impacts. The City's code enforcement program is complaint-driven.

Last year, Portland City Council voted to amend the foreclosure process, shortening the redemption period from one year to three months-the final window of time a property owner has to pay off their outstanding liens, penalties and interest and redeem ownership of their property after it is auctioned-off.

Below is the list of available properties at the June 16 foreclosure sale. This list is subject to change; property owners have until the day of the foreclosure sale to resolve their outstanding balance and have their property removed from the sale.
