Common questions about Tay

Short, specific answers to what people ask before they buy or move here.

Where is Tay Township?

Tay sits on Georgian Bay between Midland and the Severn River, taking in Victoria Harbour, Port McNicoll, and Waubaushene. It is a string of waterfront villages along the bay.

Why buy here?

Some of the more accessible Georgian Bay shoreline in the area, with marinas and access to the bay and the Trent Severn system. It draws boaters and people who want water without Muskoka pricing.

What should I check before buying?

On shoreline properties, check the septic, the water source, and whether the road and the home are set up for winter. Village homes are more straightforward.

How close are amenities?

Midland is a short drive for groceries, schools, and the hospital, so you are close to services while still on the water.
