Property Tax Sale 

General information

The Charter of the ville de Montréal gives the city clerk the authority to auction off any property on which municipal taxes due prior to January 1, 2012 remain unpaid on the scheduled date of sale. This sale will took place in November  2012 .

Only those properties for which both deadlines for payment of taxes or transfer duties fell prior to January 1, 2012 may be put up for sale if any outstanding balance remains due.

Before putting a property up for sale, the city will attempt to recover any outstanding balance from the owner through various means. These include sending the owner a notice of sale detailing terms of payment, along with applicable fees and interest. The property will be placed on the list of properties to be sold if payment is not made in full.

Property tax sales are governed under the Charter of the Ville de Montréal (R.S.Q. c. C‑11.4) and the Cities and Towns Act (R.S.Q. c. C-19).
