Questions and Answers / Can the owner sell?

« on: October 15, 2021, 05:02:18 PM »

Let's say a property is up for tax sale tender. Can the current owner sell that property with taxes outstanding? If so, will the taxes owing be paid automatically by the lawyers before paying the original owner?

OK, so fair enough. It seems BC is different where the person who owed the debt has 12 months to get a property back. So the rules differ by province, but if the property tax is set by the municipality, couldn't the auction rules vary by municipality as well? ...or is the tax sale process 'regulated' provincially? This seems odd to me. When someone says 'crown debt', I guess I just think federal.

Someone on social media is claiming that a property sold in a tax sale can be recovered by the previous owner is they paid their debt within 12 months of a property being old in a tax sale tender. That I would just get my money back, but title would go back to them. I don't believe this but I want to confirm. Is the tax sale final once the balance is paid?
