City to hold property tax sale
Properties in arrears up for grabs
The City of Calgary is hoping the prospect of having their home offered up to the highest bidder is enough to encourage a few Calgarians to catch up on their taxes.

Currently, the list of properties stands at four pages, with properties deleted from the list as the outstanding taxes are paid.
