Municipal Tax Recovery
When it comes to tax collection, the Municipal Tax Assistance Act, R.S.O. 1990, (Amendments 2001), empowers regions, towns, and cities to use bailiff services as a cost-effective alternative to lengthy tax sale foreclosures. Acting as an agent for the municipality, an appointed bailiff agency can serve notices, collect tenant rents owed to tax-delinquent landlords, and when necessary, seize goods from delinquent taxpayers.
