Tax Sales

The sale of land for tax arrears by public tender is governed by the Municipal Act, 2001, along with Ontario Regulation 181/03 (Municipal Tax Sale Rules). A municipality may recover unpaid property taxes through the sale of a property. The City of Pickering may register a Tax Arrears Certificate if any portion of property taxes remains unpaid for two or more years prior to January 1st of any year.

The registration of a Tax Arrears Certificate indicates that the property will be sold if taxes, penalties, interest and reasonable costs incurred by the City (the cancellation price) are not paid within one year of registration of the certificate.  Once a Tax Arrears Certificate has been registered, partial payments cannot be accepted.

If the cancellation price has not been paid in full within one year of registration of the certificate, the municipality will advertise the property for sale in the local paper for four consecutive weeks, as well as in the Ontario Gazette, and on the City's website.

All tax sale properties are sold by public tender in 'as is' condition without warranty, and the City makes no representation regarding the title to or any other matters relating to the lands to be sold.
