Pay a balance to end the tax sale process

Is your building for sale due to defaulted payment of property taxes or property transfer duties? Find out how to pay your balance and end the process.

A building is withdrawn from the sale process when the amounts due for the previous year are paid in full.

If there is a delay caused by the method of payment you have chosen, please plan accordingly so that we receive your payment on time and the sale process can be stopped. 

Personal cheques are accepted before August 1 of the year following the tax bill’s issuance date. After that date, only certified cheques are accepted.

Additional fees may apply, including in the following situations:

  • Cheque returned (insufficient funds in the account)
  • Request for return of a cheque sent
  • Issuance of a reimbursement cheque for payment of more than the invoiced amount
