Auction of tax sale properties in Vancouver

The current owners or registered charge holders of these properties have one year after the tax sale to redeem the property from the tax sale process. "Redeeming" is how the original owner makes a payment to rescue their property from the tax sale process.

Once a property is redeemed, the City will refund all the money paid by the bidder, plus interest to the date of redemption, back to the bidder.

If the property is not redeemed, the process of transferring the property's ownership to the new owner starts.
The next tax sale date is November 12, 2015

Updated tax sale lists will be available here each day, starting at 5:00pm on November 5, 2015.
Researching properties before you bid on them

The City is not responsible for the condition or quality of the properties being offered for sale. The City recommends that prospective purchasers of properties sold at the tax sale research each property.

It is important to determine whether there are other restrictions, charges or conditions that may affect a property’s value or sustainability.
