There must be an easier way to find recent tax sale results. I've followed advice posted here about finding
the information on municpal websites, but haven't had much luck. I found a few out there but most municipal
websites don't post this information. I see Ontario Tax Sales will sell you monthly listings...after you buy a membership
for $50! What a rip-off!!! With the amount of knowledge on this forum, I'm surprised there isn't alot more information posted here.
While we're on the topic of sharing knowledge, I have an information package of the Gravenhurst sale, if anyone
needs some info.

There is no requirement in the legislation which forces Municipalities to post their results on any central database - as there is with the initial advertisings being required to go into the Ontario Gazette. As a result, very few of them make that information available to the general public. From my perspective it is redundant at any rate.
Gravenhurst looks like a lot of very small properties, and a few larger ones with ESA's and Natural Heritage areas which constrain their future use.

Mark,
Can you share the Gravenhurst package with me.
Let me know what you want.
Thanks,

I'm not actually interested in any of the Gravenhurst properties, I'm trying to learn what tax sales are all about so I purchased
this info package to learn a thing or two, with the info that I was in the package I feel it was worth the $10 I spent. I won't be ready to bid on anything for a while but I'd like to know what I'm doing when the time comes. I'm finding it easier to find tax sales results, they don't always jump out at you on the municipal websites

They're not always posted as a separate item. Look for the Finance, or treasury department, or tax section. You could also just do a search as they are likely buried in reports to council or committee in an agenda.

I'm finding that it takes a little patience to find the results. As I find the websites that post the results, I'm adding them to my favorites for quick reference in the future, eventually I should have a decent database going. At this point I'm just trying to get a realistic idea of what a decent water access lot is going for, I've already realized that road access waterfront on useable lots is out of reach for now.
Thanks for the advice
