The Municipal Act, 2001, allows a municipality to sell a property when taxes are in arrears for approximately two years. There are various steps in the tax sale process which are designed to allow the owner ample time to bring his/her tax account into good standing. However, after a Tax Arrears Certificate has been registered on the property for one year, the municipality can sell the property.
Tax Sales rules are legislated by provincial legislation. The following web site http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca contains the Municipal Act, 2001 and Ontario Regulation 181/03 Municipal Tax Sale Rules.
Current tax sale listings are presented on this page.
