The purchaser of the property will be responsible for any property taxes for the
current year.
Each parcel of land offered for sale at public auction will be subject to a reserve bid
and to the reservations and conditions contained in the existing certificate of title.
Redemption of a parcel of land offered for sale may be effected by certified payment
of all arrears of taxes, penalties and costs at any time prior to the auction.
The lands are being offered for sale on an "as is, where is" basis, and the Municipality
makes no representation and gives no warranty whatsoever as to the adequacy of
services, soil conditions, land use districting, building and development conditions,
absence or presence of environmental contamination, vacant possession, or the
developability of the lands for any intended use by the successful bidder.
No terms and conditions of sale will be considered other than those specified by the
municipality.
The auctioneer, the councillors, the chief administrative officer the designated officers
and employees of the municipality must not bid for or buy, or act as an agent in
buying, any parcel of land offered for sale, unless directed by the municipality to bid
for or buy a parcel of land on behalf of the municipality.
Once the property is declared sold to another individual at public auction the previous
owner has no further right to pay the tax arrears.
The risk of the property lies with the purchaser immediately following the auction.
The purchaser is responsible for obtaining vacant possession.
If no offer is received on a property or if the reserve bid is not met, the property
cannot be sold at the public auction.
The municipality may, after the public auction, become the owner of any parcel of
land that is not sold at the public auction.
Terms: The successful bidder must, at the time of the sale, make a non-refundable ten
percent (10%) deposit in cash, certified cheque or bank draft payable to the
municipality, with the remaining balance of the purchasing price due within thirty
(30) days of the sale. GST will apply to all applicable lands sold at the auction.
