If property taxes remain unpaid , the Municipal Act provides for the sale of the property. The Township registers a Tax Arrears Certificate on title to the land if property taxes remain unpaid for two years. These timelines apply to both residential and non-residential classes of property.

A Tax Arrears Certificate indicates that the property will be sold if taxes, penalties, interest and reasonable costs incurred by the Township are not paid within one year of registration of the certificate. Once a certificate has been registered, partial payments cannot be accepted. Taxes must be paid in full during the one year redemption period.
