I think they could seize the property (i.e. put a crown lien on them for the amount they say is owing, but it wouldn't end up at a tax sale unless you stopped paying the taxes. And there would be no problem until you come to sell or refinance the house, which you wouldn't be able to do. They would get the proceeds up to the amount of their lein and you would be out anyways. They could get a judgement against you and have the judge request you sell, but this doesn't usually get agreed to by a judge, especially if you could show you had and are still disputing the amount. (This is my understanding, but I am not a lawyer). However, since it is rev. can. the judge would probably agree to put a lien on the property for the amount in question (a crown lien).
