Risk guide
Risks of Tax Sales
Understand the main risks of Canadian tax sales, including title, access, redemption, environmental, and information risks.
Information risk
Public notices can be incomplete, corrected, or updated. A buyer must verify the latest official information before acting.
Property risk
Access, zoning, environmental issues, buildings, occupancy, and title can all change the economics of a tax sale property.
Process risk
Bids can be rejected, sales can be cancelled, and redemption rules may apply. Understand the process before relying on a result.
