Before a property ever reaches the tax sale stage, there is something called a redemption period.After a property tax arrears certificate is registered on title, the property owner has a defined period of time to pay the outstanding property taxes, interest, and related costs in full.If the owner pays during that time, the property is redeemed and the tax sale does not proceed.Because of this, not every property that appears on a property tax sale list will ultimately be sold.Some properties are redeemed before the final sale stage.If you are tracking a specific property, it is a good idea to stay aware of updates as the sale date approaches.If you have questions about a specific property or how the process works, you can contact OntarioTaxSales here: www.ontariotaxsales.ca/contact-us/#ontariotaxsales #propertytaxsale #ontariorealestate ...
