When looking at a tax sale listing, many people focus on the minimum tender amount and assume it reflects the property's market value.The minimum tender amount is not meant to represent market value. Instead, it is calculated based on unpaid property taxes, accumulated interest, penalties, and certain costs associated with the tax sale process.Market value is determined by many other factors such as location, condition, zoning, and local demand.Understanding the difference between these numbers can help buyers avoid confusion when evaluating a property.#ontariotaxsales #propertytaxsale #LandInvesting ...
