Tax Sales

More

Current tax sales can be viewed on our Bid Opportunities page.

Tax Sales

Properties that are over two years in arrears become eligible for the initiation of tax sale proceedings. The Township will register a Tax Arrears Certificate, which indicates that the property will be sold if the cancellation price is not paid in full within one year of registration. When the certificate has been registered on title, partial payments cannot be accepted unless there is an Extension Agreement in effect.

Extension Agreements

  • Requests for an extension agreement must be made in writing by the property owner(s) to the Director of Finance;
  • the request must be submitted prior to one (1) year from the date the tax arrears certificate was registered;
  • the request shall include the reason, the length of time required, and any other information that may assist in formulating a decision regarding the request;
  • administration fees, in accordance with the Township's Scale of Cost by-law, as well as any legal fees related to the preparation of the extension agreement shall be the responsibility of the property owner(s); and
  • all extension agreements must be approved by Council.

Notice of Tax Arrears

The property owner or other individual receiving notice of the tax arrears certificate may, during the one-year redemption period, pay the outstanding taxes, interest and costs and request a cancellation of the certificate. If the Cancellation Price is not paid within one year of registration, the Municipality may then advertise the property for public sale for non-payment of taxes. Advertisements will be in accordance with applicable legislation.

The Tax Sale Process

The process of a tax sale follows the Municipal Act which determines the timing of notices that must be sent. At each step of the process, administrative fees (in accordance with the Township's Scale of Costs by-law), legal fees, and other costs are added to the cancellation price. The process takes one year from the time the tax arrears certificate is registered on the property title to the time that the municipality can offer the property for public sale.

The Township shall consider and select the date for receiving and opening tax sale bids so as to optimize the viewing of each property and the number of bids received. Such consideration shall be at the discretion of the Township and with reference to applicable legislation, staff availability and other factors deemed appropriate at the time

The sale of public land through the tax sale process is governed by O. Reg. 181/03 under the Municipal Act, 2001.

The municipality will make no representation regarding the title to or any other matters relating to the land(s) to be sold. Responsibility for ascertaining these matters rests with the potential purchasers.

The municipality has no obligation to provide vacant possession to the successful purchaser.

Details regarding the property and the tender submission requirements will be provided by the Township at the time of listing.
