Reply to "City to begin seizing properties over rates owed"

Property owners have a duty by law to pay rates and taxes. Individual householders mostly comply. However, many businessmen who have the ability to pay are recalcitrant. If the City Council is going to seize properties of the non-paying businessmen, it must have the backing of the law/by-laws. I suspect that, with this announcement of impending seizures, the errant businessmen will rush to City Hall with their cheques.

Gill,first they have put a lien on the property and when they don't pay up,property can be put up for sale to recover taxes owed.That's how it is done here plus you pay a hefty interest on the taxes owed.
