1) How is the property being sold?

The sale follows a structured legislative process required for public-sector assets. At this time, the property is being made available on the Open Market directly through the UGDSB. However, the UGDSB is in the process of obtaining the services of a commercial real estate firm to assist with the sale.

2) Why is the property offered for sale on Open Market?

The Ministry of Education completed a review of the property and, pursuant to subparagraph 2(ii) of subsection 5(1) of Ontario Regulation 374/23, formally notified the Board that it may proceed with offering the property for sale to any person or body at fair market value.

3) How is the "Fair Market Value" determined?

Under Ontario Regulation 374/23, the Board is required to sell surplus property at fair market value. This value is determined by an independent, third-party appraiser accredited by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. The appraisal considers the "Highest and Best Use" of the land, evaluating its potential for development rather than just its current state.

4) Do I need a Real Estate Agent?

You are welcome to be represented by a Realtor.

5) Why are there no property tax amounts listed?

As a School Board is a tax-exempt entity under the Assessment Act, this property has not historically generated a tax bill. Upon transfer of title to a private owner, the tax-exempt status will be removed, and the property will be reassessed by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).
