Example of the procedure of selling a tax sale property
Before there is a sale of property for tax arrears the property owner is given every opportunity to pay the taxes in full in order to keep possession of their property. This right has been supported by the Ontario Court of Appeal.
One of the problems with any plan to stop foreclosure is that homeowners who are behind in their payments invariably end up the targets of massive mailing and phone call marketing campaigns from foreclosure help companies who are offering their services. With so many potential scams operating in the real estate and mortgage industries, though, it becomes very difficult for foreclosure victims to know who to trust when they need additional assistance in their efforts to save their homes.
