Tax Sales

Take notice that tenders are invited for the purchase of lands described below and will be received until 3:00 p.m. local time on November 28, 2024, at the Port Hope Town Hall, 56 Queen Street, Port Hope, ON. 

The tenders will then be opened in public on the same day, as soon as possible, after 3:00 p.m. at Town Hall. 

The Municipality can sell properties with two years of unpaid taxes. The tax sale process takes about a year to complete. In that year, the property owners have a chance to pay back the taxes and fees associated with the tax sale and stop the tax sale process. If the amount is not paid by the due date, then the property will be listed for tax sale. The rules for the tax sale come from the Municipal Act.

Before you start

If you are considering participating in a property tax sale, it is highly recommended that you seek independent legal advice from a lawyer licensed to practice in Ontario and in good standing with the Law Society of Upper Canada.
Potential tenderers are strongly encouraged to:

• Perform their own title search by visiting the Ontario Land Registry’s website
• Review the Municipality’s Zoning maps and Zoning By-law
• Contact the Municipality’s Development Services department with questions about permitted land use of the sale properties
