Taxes

A Tax Certificate is requested by your lawyer to verify the amount of the current year's taxes and to inquire as to arrears and outstanding charges for taxes for the current year and any preceding years.

Additional information is requested as to local improvement charges, charges for work orders, snow shovelling, demolition, hydro, water or other public utility, charges under the Telephone Act, The Fire Marshall's Act, the Public Health Act, or the Weed Control Act, charges or special rates under the Tile Drainage Act, the Shoreline Assistance Act, or any other charges forming a lien by the Municipality against the property.
