 CHANGES TO THE PAYMENT PROCEDURE ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Once a property is auctioned and sold, the tax sale will be stopped, and the successful bidder will be required to proceed to the cashier for immediate payment. The Tax Sale will not continue until payment is processed. We will not hold the sale for you to call you bank or run to get money. In the event you have not made prior arrangements for payment, your bid will be null, and void and the property will be re-auctioned.

All properties purchased at tax sale may be subject to a Non-Resident Provincial Deed Transfer Tax of 5% of the
purchase price. Further clarification can be obtained from the Province of Nova Scotia or a lawyer to determine if the
Provincial Deed Transfer Tax applies to the property you wish to purchase.

The CBRM does not own the properties listed on tax sale. Individuals do not have the right to enter the home without the owners permission.
