City treasurer Shelley Schell aims to put pedal to the metal on Sault Ste. Marie’s tax sale process
Targeting owners of vacant properties and landlords who pay only the most recent year on long-overdue property tax bills, Sault Ste. Marie is moving to speed up its tax sale process.
"The current tax sale process does not register for tax arrears until around June in the year in which three prior years plus the current year have outstanding balances, or four years in taxes unpaid," says Schell. "The tax sale occurs after all other collection methods have been exhausted. Staff work with taxpayers in arrears as set out in the policy with the goal to move the account out of a tax sale position and into a current arrears position. If a property has reached tax sale it is an indication that there is little hope of collection by other means.
