City of Toronto reminds homeowners to submit declaration of property occupancy status by February 2
The City of Toronto is reminding all homeowners to submit a declaration of their property’s 2022 occupancy status by Thursday, February 2 to determine if the property is subject to the new Vacant Home Tax.
Declarations of occupancy status should be made through the City’s secure online declaration portal at http://www.toronto.ca/VacantHomeTax.
Those who do not have access to a computer can authorize someone to act on their behalf to make the online submission. If required, homeowners can request a paper declaration form to complete and submit by mail by calling 311 (Tax & Utilities Inquiry Line).
The vast majority of Toronto property owners will not pay this tax. Homeowners who live in their own home, live in their own home but go to a vacation home during parts of the year snowbirds or work abroad, and those who rent out their property are not subject to the Vacant Home Tax.
The City mailed notices of the declaration requirement to homeowners in December. The notices included the property owner’s assessment roll number and customer number – two pieces of information needed to make a declaration of occupancy status – as well as instructions on how to quickly and easily submit the declaration online. Homeowners can also find their assessment roll number and customer service number on their most recent property tax bill.
The goal of the Vacant Home Tax is not to drive revenue but to help address the housing shortage in Toronto by encouraging property owners to make their residential properties available for occupation or rent. Any revenues collected from the Vacant Home Tax will be allocated towards affordable housing initiatives.
A property is considered vacant if it was not used as the principal residence by the owner(s) or any permitted occupant(s) or was unoccupied for a total of six months or more during the previous calendar year. Properties may also be deemed vacant if an owner fails to make a declaration of occupancy status. There are a number of exemptions from the Vacant Home Tax, including properties undergoing renovations, homes where the principal resident is in long-term care and death of the registered owner.
Toronto City Council approved the Vacant Home Tax at its December 2021 meeting to address the housing crisis: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2022/law0097.pdf.
