Document background
The Real Auction Tax Deed is a crucial document in Canadian municipal property tax enforcement proceedings. It is utilized when a property owner has defaulted on their property taxes, and the municipality has conducted a public auction to recover the outstanding amounts. This document type is governed by provincial legislation and municipal bylaws, with specific requirements varying by province. The deed serves multiple purposes: it documents the tax default and auction process, transfers legal title to the successful bidder, and provides evidence of the municipality's compliance with all required procedures. The Real Auction Tax Deed must include comprehensive property information, tax default details, auction proceedings documentation, and proper certifications from authorized municipal officials. It is particularly important as it represents the culmination of the tax sale process and creates an entirely new chain of title for the property.
