How Do Tax Sales Work in Canada?
When property owners fail to pay municipal taxes for an extended period, Canadian municipalities can sell those properties through a tax sale process to recover the unpaid taxes. This creates opportunities for investors and buyers to purchase real estate through a public, competitive process — prices are set by bidding and are not guaranteed.
Each province has its own legislation governing tax sales, including different redemption periods, deposit requirements, and auction formats. Some provinces use a public tender process (sealed bids), while others hold live auctions.
