🔥 2025 East Hants Tax Sale: Real Estate Opportunities You Shouldn’t Miss
The Municipality of East Hants has announced its 2025 Tax Sale, scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. The auction will be held in-person at the Council Chambers located at 15 Commerce Court, Elmsdale, NS. For investors, developers, and first-time buyers, tax sales can be a chance to purchase real estate at below-market rates — but doing your homework is critical.
What Is a Tax Sale?
A tax sale occurs when property taxes go unpaid for a prolonged period. To recover outstanding taxes, the municipality auctions off these properties — as-is and with no warranties. This year’s sale includes both vacant land and properties with dwellings or commercial buildings.
