How do tax sales work in Quebec?

In Quebec, municipal tax sales occur when property owners fail to pay property taxes for 2-3 years. The municipality registers a tax arrears certificate, offers a redemption period, then sells the property via public auction (live competitive bidding). The winning bid must meet the cancellation price — the total of all unpaid taxes, interest, and costs.
