Ontario’s active file rose from 49 to 73 listings between the October 1 baseline and this Monday’s public counts — the only province-level active change this week — while Alberta and Quebec stayed flat at 629 and 1,562 active. The homepage featured list now shows a cluster of Ontario sale dates from October 7 through October 14 alongside Alberta tenders and auctions already underway. That mix matters because buyers watching only one province would miss half of the near-term calendar.
Counts below are taken from the public How Tax Sale Compass counts listings page and the homepage featured auctions on October 5, 2026. Active listing addresses and bids stay Premium (Canadian dollars 9.99 per month or 99.90 per year). Always verify dates and terms with the municipality that published the notice.

Five provinces show active sales today: Quebec, Alberta, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. Sitewide active listings on the homepage: 2,444. Properties mapped (including archive): 7,298.
Municipality and sale date only, from the homepage featured auctions on October 5, 2026. Property counts and addresses are not listed here.
Compared with the October 1 baseline snapshot: the October 2, 2026 featured date is no longer on the homepage (it has passed). Municipalities named on today’s featured list that were not in the prior snapshot’s named list include Birch Hills County, Mountain View County, County of Paintearth No. 18, Kirkland Lake, Thessalon, Sables-Spanish Rivers, Rainy River, Crowsnest Pass, Black River-Matheson, Haldimand County, Ignace, and Town of Sundre. Town of Elk Point, Town of St. Paul, and Village of Donalda remain on the public featured list. The October 1 snapshot did not store reliable municipality-and-date pairs for every card, so finer date-shift detection for those three is not claimed here.
