Tax Sales

Under the Municipal Act, if property taxes are not paid for 2 years before the current year, the County can register a Tax Arrears Certificate and ultimately sell the property if the taxes remain unpaid.

Once a Tax Arrears Certificate is registered, a property owner has 1 year from the registration date to pay all taxes, penalties, interest and reasonable costs incurred by the County. This amount is referred to as the cancellation price.

If the cancellation price is not paid within 1 year of registration, the property becomes eligible for sale through a public tender.

Before any property is legally registered and eligible for sale, the County will attempt to contact the owner to make payment arrangements. If you’ve received a letter about property tax arrears and potential registration, contact our tax team as soon as possible.
