Owners of properties in Toronto that are classified within the residential property tax class are required to declare occupancy status every year, even if they reside there. The deadline to declare is February 29, 2024.
Owners of properties subject to the tax will be issued a Vacant Home Tax Notice at the end of March and payment will be due in three instalments in May, June and July.
A property may be selected for audit on a random or specific criteria basis. If selected for audit, the City may require the owner to provide information and evidence to substantiate their claim of occupancy of a residential property or any exemption.
If further information or evidence is required, the City will send you a letter by mail advising what you need to do. Once an audit is complete, you will be notified by mail of the outcome.
