If a land is contaminated, is this contamination registered on title? Dave mentioned in another post that there were 100,000 tires buried in an eastern Ontario rural land up for tax sale, was this information showed on title search?
I checked the Ontario Land Registry government website, and it says that "Environmental warnings and restrictions are not title related and as such are not acceptable for registration in the land registration system as documents..." This includes ground contamination.
If contamination is not registered on title, where is this information kept? or the only way to find out is by obtaining an environmental audit?
Your first hand information is appreciated.
