Originally I was going to post this on Raylaks Dry Cleaning Property but believe it is important enough to warrant its own post.
For the first time I have encountered a species at risk issue with a tax sale property and what is especially worrying is it not flagged as a concern on the usual property data we get our information on. We are talking a regular rural building lot that is clean dry flat with good road access and would normally be considered s slam dunk to put a dwelling on it. It looks like I am the first potential bidder to discover the issue and do some investigation.
specifically: It does not show up on a normal property search data but is a very real risk in this case. An onsite inspection does not show this risk either because the species at risk is a butterfly and the Ministry of Natural Resources is controlling the risk by regulating the food they eat which is a couple of small bushes.
In talking with the Ministry staff on it they will not commit themselves until next spring (late May or June) to say if you have a problem until next spring when the bushes have leaves and preferably are flowering. Now think about it, if trained specialists cannot tell us we have a problem until 6 months out where does this leave us.
For this specific species the problem could be found anywhere in southern Ontario from Ottawa to Windsor and North to Manitoulin Island.
I actually have the resources to tackle it but they are a fluke because of a ski chalet 40 years ago and one of my buddies got a PHD in the field. I assume at this point I am going to get lynched if I don't tell where it is. All I need to say if you bid Marmora and Lake without your eyes open your boss is going to put y0u in the lake in the big old minesite hole to the east of this with cement overshoes.

Me and my wife have been buying certificates at the tax sale in Irvington NJ for quite some time, and its just been a nightmare i just had enough.
buying in tax liens in irvington nj
Irvington twp receives the check from the property owner but they play games on and on about this delay and this delay, it missed this meeting so it will go on the next meeting, someone forgot to put it on that meeting so it will go on the following meeting. then it finally does so you will get your check in a few days right? no! the finance office did not cut the checks yet because someone is out of town, when will he be back next week, ok so i wait again he comes back in to town but he is at "meetings" the the whole day, and anyway dont call us call the tax office i am told, but the tax office for years has been telling me its not their fault its the finance office who cuts the checks.
4 months after the interest date was calculated and i finally got my check!
(I am not talking of a small check, i am talking of checks in the 100-200k range, same story every time)
No wonder why Irvington is suffering, with such neglect and abuse for public service something big has to change, and it looks like mayor tony vauss is on the right path, he just might new to cut off some of the old heads that have old bad habits and are not ready to change.
