Who can pay overdue taxes?

Only time will tell - my first crack at finding the person in question didnt yeild any results as the new tax certificate doesnt list the name of the person who paid the bill.
I like Frank's attitude on this, this FiretrUcK must be embarrassed.  If I do find out the name and it is not a realative expect to see a new thread.

I'm sure I read somewhere, maybe even the Municipal Act, that anyone can pay the penalty/taxes on a property.  As many here have said it won't be for altruistic reasons.

Back in the summer a small (very small) island on Georgian Bay came up, kept waiting for it to be redeemed as the total money owed was far less than its assessment value.

If I remember correctly it came down to the week before the sale date.  Its was redeemed on a Friday afternoon, and listed on MLS by an independent real estate broker/owner from Mississauga by Monday.  Pretty much at market value.  Still hasn't sold, come spring it'll be gone.
