About Residential Tax Sales

Residential properties at tax sales include single-family homes, townhouses, and multi-unit dwellings. These properties can offer significant value for both investors and first-time buyers. However, they often require inspection and may need repairs since previous owners were unable to maintain tax payments.

Before bidding on a residential tax sale property, consider the condition of the building, any outstanding liens or encumbrances, the neighbourhood comparable sales, and the redemption period that applies in your province.

What should I check before buying a residential tax sale property?

Before bidding on a residential tax sale property, complete a title search, confirm zoning and permitted uses, check for liens or easements, and review the redemption period that applies in the province. Tax sale properties are sold as-is, where-is.

Are residential tax sale properties cheaper than market value?

Residential tax sale listings often start near the tax arrears owing, which can be well below assessed or market value, but a discount is not guaranteed. Always research each property before you bid.
