From time to time the Village of Merrickville-Wolford may have properties for sale under the authority of the Municipal Act using the Municipal Tax Sales process. These are properties which have two or more years in property tax arrears for which the Municipality has processed the required registration of liens, and notices. If the property owner has failed to redeem the Tax Arrears Certificate lien which has been registered on title, the properties are offered for public tender.

The Village of Merrickville-Wolford uses the tendering process to sell municipal tax sale properties. Tenders must be submitted on the legislated prescribed form and must be accompanied by a deposit of at least 20 per cent of the tendered price. The tender advertisement will provide the deadline for submitting tenders and the date and time will be strictly enforced.
