Description
The Municipality of the County of Kings, in accordance with the Nova Scotia Municipal Government Act, shall annually, carry out a Tax Sale to collect outstanding taxes due to the Municipality.
The Municipal Government Act (MGA) was introduced on April 1, 1999 and incorporates the tax collection provisions of the Assessment Act. The Municipality abides by the act with respect to the collection of unpaid property taxes, specifically as the process is laid out in Sections 134 through 157.
The next property tax sale by public auction will be held on March 31, 2025 at 14:00 am in the Municipal Council Chambers, located at 181 Coldbrook Village Park Drive, Coldbrook, NS.
No funds are due at the time of bid submission. Successful bidders will be contacted by the Municipality after the tender closes on Monday March 31. The full balance of the successful bid must be paid by the end of the third business day following the close of tender (by Thursday, April 3, 2025 at 4:30 pm). Acceptable payment methods are cash, debit, money order, certified cheque, bank draft or lawyer’s trust cheque. All properties purchased at tax sale may be subject to a Provincial Deed Transfer Tax based upon 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.
Purchasers must be aware that owners of a redeemable property or any person having an interest in the land or any person for the benefit of the owner may, within six months of the sale, redeem the property by payment of sums listed under Section 152 of the Municipal Government Act.
Purchasers should also be aware that in Section 151 of the Municipal Government Act, it is implied that purchasers have limited rights during the six months when redemption may occur and, therefore, are cautioned to only preserve and not alter the property. Any repairs require written permission of the Treasurer. A copy of these rights will be mailed to the purchaser along with the "Certificate of Sale."
TAKE NOTICE that tax sales do not in all circumstances clear up defects in title. A tax deed conveys only the interest of the assessed owner, whatever that interest may be. If you are intending to clear up defects in the title of your property by way of a tax sale, you are advised to obtain a legal opinion as to whether this can be done. The purchaser will be responsible for all property taxes beginning the day of the sale.
NO COUNCIL MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE COUNTY OF KINGS OR THEIR SPOUSE, OR A COMPANY IN WHICH A COUNCIL MEMBER, EMPLOYEE, OR THEIR SPOUSE OWNS OR BENEFICIALLY OWNS THE MAJORITY OF THE SHARES SHALL PURCHASE PROPERTY AT A TAX SALE CONDUCTED BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE COUNTY OF KINGS.

Nova Scotia tax sale properties buyer's guide
Before you submit a tender you should consider the following:
Before you submit a tender for a tax sale property, be aware of the following:
The municipality does not hold the title of the estate or any other matter concerning the lands to be sold. The property value can be much higher or much less than the tender minimum.
It is up to you to examine this property to see if it is a good investment and to investigate the statutory requirements and tax sale provisions.
Therefore, we highly recommend you check the title and executions to see what will stay on the title and become your duty after the execution. Is the property subject to attributable holders' easements, limits and/or adverse possession? Do the condition of the property, land use, zoning, etc. fit into your property plans?
1. This process is buyer beware. You must undertake due diligence with respect to all aspects of the property.
You should check if there are any Federal or Provincial liens on the title. We recommend you do a title search before submitting your bid. A Title Search Report can be ordered from the tender page on www.taxsaleshub.ca. It will be ready in 2 business days.
We recommend ordering a title search report 5-7 business days before the tender to ensure that it includes all possible new mortgages or other significant interests registered against the property before it was listed for a tax sale.
2. You may drive past the property, but site visits are not available.
Use Google Maps Street View on the property page to have a closer look. Since Google Maps photos could be deprecated and if the property you are interested in is not so far, it's a good idea to drive there and have a look yourself.
IMPORTANT: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO ON PROPERTY TERRITORY.
3. There is no vacant possession. The successful bidder will not receive a key to the property. The successful bidder is responsible for the eviction process if necessary.
4. You should investigate zoning, planning or building restrictions, and work orders.
Some municipal websites have a "Find Your Zoning" page, where you can find out zoning by the roll number. And, of course, you can always go to City Hall and do your research.
5. You are responsible for any environmental concerns if there are contamination issues with the property.
6. We recommend retaining a lawyer to protect your interests before submitting a bid.
