Your question doesn't make sense. There is no statute of limitations on property. Give us a little more info and we may be able to help. What is going on?
The thread title is Tax Warrant so I can assume that OP has received a notice of delinquent property taxes and that the state or county is threatening to take the property or has placed a tax lien on the property.
Tax warrants
A tax warrant is equivalent to a civil judgment against you, and protects New York State's interests and priority in the collection of outstanding tax debt. We file a tax warrant with the appropriate New York State county clerk's office and the New York State Department of State, and it becomes a public record. A filed tax warrant creates a lien against your real and personal property, and may:
What happens
If you fail to timely resolve your tax debt, your past due tax debt becomes fixed and final and we may file a tax warrant against you. Before we file a tax warrant, we will send you notice of the debt, and give you an opportunity to resolve it.
When we file a tax warrant, we send you a copy of the warrant. If you fail to resolve your warranted balance, we will proceed with further collection action.
If your total warranted balance is paid in full, we will send the county clerk a Satisfaction of Judgment stating your warranted debt has been paid in full. The clerk will file the Satisfaction of Judgment, and we will send you a copy. You should retain this copy for your records. We will also notify the Department of State that the tax warrant has been satisfied.
How to resolve
You must pay your total warranted balance in full to satisfy your tax warrant. If you can't pay your tax debt in full, you may be able to set up an installment payment agreement (IPA) to prevent additional collection action. If you set up an IPA, the warrant will remain on file and continue to be a lien on your real and personal property until your total warranted balance is paid in full.

I believe that the article addresses liens on property that are generated as a result of unpaid NY State income taxes. Those liens are good for 20 years.
Property (and other local) taxes in NY are collected by the cities and counties that have their own tax lien procedures and likely have different collection limitations than the state.
Of course, all that is subject to clarification by the Damisan1027.
