Hi I'm fairly new to all this and i was looking at a few properties for the upcoming Tax sale in the Crowsnestpass (AB). (July 8th Auction).  I called about one property and was advised the reserve bid is $267 000.  Is this normal?  It seems like the municipality has either 10 years taxes owing, as taxes are approximately $2500 a year there, or they are trying to auction off a property that they already own.  Does this sound normal?

at 267000...It would be 100 years worth

Many times with high reserves such as that, the land may have been contaminated and cleaned ( partly) and they add that to the minimum. Sometimes it can be legal costs  related to a zoning fight etc.. I would bet on the cleanup costs story and definately run away
