Bowen Island Municipality makes no representation, express or implied, as to the condition or quality of the properties being offered for sale. All properties are sold as is. Prospective purchasers are urged to inspect the properties and make all necessary inquiries to municipal and other government departments, and in the case of strata lots to the strata corporation, to determine the existence of any bylaws, restrictions, charges or other conditions which may affect the value or suitability of the property.
Purchasers are further advised that properties sold at Tax Sale are subject to a redemption period of one year whereby the registered property owner(s) or registered charge holder may redeem their property sold at Tax Sale by paying the upset price plus applicable interest. During the one-year period allowed for redemption, the property must continue to be assessed and taxed in the current registered owner’s name.
If the property is redeemed, the Tax Sale purchaser is entitled to all amounts paid plus interest as set by the Province of British Columbia. Refund interest is calculated on the purchase price of the property, not the upset price.
The purchase of a tax sale property is subject to tax under the Property Transfer Tax Act on the fair market value of the property.
