Facing a Foreclosure Sheriff Sale in Hudson County, NJ?
Hudson County holds its foreclosure sales twice a month, on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m., in Room 201B of the County Administration Building on Newark Avenue in Jersey City. Registration opens at 1:00 and closes the moment the sale begins. Here is how it works and what you can still do.
How a Hudson County sheriff's sale works
New Jersey foreclosure law is the same in all twenty-one counties. The sale itself is not — each county sheriff sets its own schedule, its own location, its own adjournment procedures and its own deadlines. These are Hudson County's.
Sale day: Thursdays, twice a month
Sale time: 2:00 p.m. — registration 1:00 to 2:00, closes promptly
Where: Room 201B, Hudson County Administration Building, 595 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07306
Format: In person. The online portal lists sales but does not host bidding.
Foreclosure office: (201) 795-6300 ext. 7233 or ext. 7312
Need more time? Contact the Foreclosure Unit as early as possible to confirm the current adjournment procedure.
Details above are drawn from the Hudson County Sheriff's Office and the New Jersey sheriff sale portal, checked in August 2026. Sale dates, times and terms change without notice — confirm directly with the Sheriff's Office before acting on anything here.
How to postpone a sale in Hudson County
Hudson County does not publish an adjournment procedure for homeowners on its website. The Conditions of Sale only mention adjournments in an administrative sense — sales that run past 4:30 p.m. get pushed to the next date. There is no downloadable form and no posted fee.
The Civil Process Unit handles this by phone: (201) 795-6300, ext. 7233 or 7312. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call as early in the process as you can. With sales only twice a month and no published homeowner cutoff, waiting can leave you with fewer options than you expected.
New Jersey law provides for up to five sheriff-sale adjournments under N.J.S.A. 2A:17-36 — up to five of up to 30 calendar days each — two at your request, two at the lender's, and one by mutual agreement. The $28 fee is set by N.J.S.A. 22A:4-8. How each county administers this varies, which is why the county details above matter.
Find your own sale date
Hudson County posts every scheduled foreclosure sale publicly, updated daily. You can search by address and see your sale date, the upset price, and whether the sale has been adjourned or cancelled — without calling anyone or identifying yourself.

If your address is on that list, you have a date. If it is not, you may still be earlier in the process than you think — and that is a much better place to be standing.
If your sale is approaching, I can review the property, your equity, and the time you actually have left — privately, and at no cost.

What if the Hudson County sheriff sale already happened?
If your property has already been sold at sheriff's sale, don't assume there is nothing left to discuss. New Jersey has a limited post-sale redemption period, and depending on your circumstances, other legal rights or options may still need to be evaluated quickly.
If your sale already happened, time matters. Speak with a qualified New Jersey attorney as soon as possible about your specific situation.

What I actually do
Hudson is dense, expensive, and moves fast — a two-family in Union City or Bayonne can carry more equity than the owner realizes. A sheriff’s sale is designed to satisfy the judgment, not to market the property for the best retail price. If you have equity, selling before the auction may give you more control over the price, the timing, and how much of that equity you keep.
I am a licensed New Jersey real estate agent, not an attorney and not a housing counselor. What I can do is tell you what your house is genuinely worth today, what a sale before the auction would net you, and whether that beats the alternatives. If the answer is that you should be talking to a lawyer or a HUD counselor instead, I will tell you that too.
The first conversation is free, private, and does not obligate you to anything. You do not need your paperwork in order to have it.
