What is a Tax Certificate? A Tax Certificate is a statement of property taxes levied and outstanding, which is usually requested by a lawyer in relation to the closing of a real estate transaction. A Tax Certificate is a report detailing the individual taxing authorities for a property. This report provides a comprehensive description of the assessed value of the property, taxes imposed on a property, any tax liens placed on the property, and any exemptions currently applied.
The current fee for a tax certificate is $40. Cheques should be made payable to the Town of Pictou.
