The Municipality will accept cash, certified cheque, money order, bank draft, lawyers’ trust cheque, or debit for the remainder of the accepted tender price. When a purchaser fails to deliver the balance of the purchase price within three (3) business days, the minimum bid deposit monies will not be returned to the bidder until the property has been resold. Any costs associated with the resale will be deducted from the deposit before the remaining balance is returned.

TAKE NOTICE that tax sales DO NOT in all circumstances resolve defects in title. A tax deed conveys only the interest of the assessed owner, whatever interest that may be. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer before purchasing a property.
The Municipality reserves the right to reject any or all tenders, not necessarily the highest tender, or to accept any tender it may consider to be in its best interest. The Municipality also reserves the right to waive formality, informality or technicality in any tender.
