Tax Sale Properties Across Canada
We aggregate tax-delinquent and municipal surplus properties from official sources across Canadian provinces. In most provinces, the minimum tender is based on outstanding tax arrears and administrative costs rather than market value. Sale procedures, eligibility, surviving interests, payment rules, and redemption rights vary by province and municipality — always confirm the details in the official notice before bidding.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
What is an upset price?
The upset price is the minimum acceptable bid at a Canadian tax sale. It equals total tax arrears + interest + penalties + the municipality's legal costs. It is NOT market value — often just a fraction of it.
Can anyone buy a tax sale property?
Generally yes — any adult Canadian resident or registered company can participate. PEI has non-resident restrictions under the Lands Protection Act. First Nations reserve lands are excluded from municipal tax sale processes.
Is there a redemption period?
It depends on the province. Ontario and Nova Scotia: no post-sale redemption. Quebec: 1 year after the sale (former owner can reclaim). British Columbia: also 1 year after the sale — a post-sale redemption period under the Local Government Act. Alberta: the owner can pay arrears to stop the sale before the auction, with no post-sale redemption. Always research province-specific rules.
Can I inspect a tax sale property?
Vacant properties can be viewed externally. For occupied properties you generally cannot inspect the interior without the occupant's permission. Always factor unknown interior condition into your maximum bid.
