539. Immoveables so purchased by the municipality, which have not been redeemed, shall be sold, either at auction or after calling for public tenders, or in any other manner approved by the Commission municipale du Québec, within the year next after the expiration of the delay in which redemption might have been exercised. The Minister of Municipal Affairs may, however, grant further delays, at the request of the council, for reasons that he may deem sufficient.
The municipality may, with the authorization of the Minister of Municipal Affairs, retain definitively the immoveables so acquired which it needs for its purposes.
