City of Calgary AUCTION for homes with unpaid taxes. April 23rd at City Hall.

Calgary homeowners already feel like they’re paying a mortgage directly to the city… now some are about to lose the house too.

The City of Calgary is preparing to auction off several properties — including some valued at over $1 million — after owners failed to pay their property taxes for multiple years.

Here’s what’s happening 👇
👉 The auction will take place April 23 at Calgary City Hall in the municipal building atrium
👉 Properties on the list are at least three years behind on property taxes
👉 If taxes remain unpaid, the city can legally seize and sell the property to recover the debt
👉 Some homes heading to auction are reportedly worth over $1 million

Typically, owners still have time to pay the outstanding taxes before the auction date to remove their property from the list — but if not, the homes go to the highest bidder.

So if you’ve ever wanted to buy Calgary real estate the old-fashioned way — standing in City Hall bidding against strangers like it’s Storage Wars — April 23 might be your day.
