Taxation (Rural Area) Act and Local Government Act

Since January 1, 1971, tax sales have not been authorized under the Taxation (Rural Area) Act. Rather, under s. 39 of that Act, property in respect of which the taxes remain unpaid forfeits to and is vested in the government.

See Part 16, Division 7, of the Local Government Act and ss. 39 to 41 of the Taxation (Rural Area) Act at chapter 51 (Local Government Legislation) and chapter 61 (Taxation (Rural Area) Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 448).
