Most properties will not be subject to the Vacant Unit Tax, including:
- Properties used as a principal residence by the owner, a family member or friend, or other permitted occupant for at least six months of the year
- Properties occupied by tenants for at least six months in increments of 30 or more days
- Meets the criteria for one of the exemptions

Why Must All Eligible Property Owner Declare
Staff have reviewed several residential vacant unit tax regimes globally to determine how residential vacant unit tax has been implemented. The regimes use one of three different methodologies:
-
Mandatory Declaration
-
Voluntary Vacant Unit Declaration: Property owners would voluntarily declare vacancy in good faith and be taxed by the City.
-
Complaint-Based: Vacant properties would be identified through a complaint or tip from residents
In all cases, regimes that used the Voluntary Vacant Unit Declaration or Complaint-Based method have been ineffective in capturing vacant units and reducing Vacancies in the Cities. In comparison, those using the mandatory declaration have had much more success. These three options were included in the residential vacant unit tax survey sent out to residents in 2021. The survey responses showed that residents favoured the mandatory declaration annually over the other two approaches.
For more information, please refer to the What We Heard survey results in the VUT report presented to Council on June 9, 2021.

Real Estate Transactions And The Vut
The VUT has some implications for property transactions, and information that vendors and purchasers should be aware of.
The City notes the following information concerning the purchase and sale of properties:
- If a closing is between January 1 and the closing of the VUT declaration period on April 30, the vendor must complete the VUT property occupancy declaration in accordance with the VUT By-law. As the VUT declaration is for the prior vacancy reference year, only the vendor will know the property’s occupancy in the previous year.
- If a closing is between May 1 and December 31, the buyer must submit a VUT declaration in the following year. They will be able to claim the exemption for properties which are sold in the reference year.
- As with property taxes, the Vacant Unit Tax will form a lien on the property, and unpaid taxes will become the buyer’s responsibility.
I Am A Snowbird Or Out Of The Country For Work For An Extended Period Of Time Will I Have To Pay The Tax

How Can I Submit A Notice Of Complaint
A notice of complaint allows a property owner to dispute the citys Vacant Unit Tax charge. After April 30, 2023, residents can complete a Notice of Complaint by September 15, 2023, where city staff will review the VUT applied to the roll. If the property is declared as a principal residence or occupied, the VUT and any related interest fee would be reversed.
Is The Vut A Form Of Negative Option Billing
The VUT is a tax, not a form of negative option billing.
The Federal Negative Option Billing Regulation applies to financial institutions, not municipalities. The regulations made under the Federal Bank Act and other federal acts apply to financial institutions, not municipalities.
Negative option billing applies to “consumer transactions,” not taxes prescribed under the Municipal Act. The Municipal Act sets out the rules and authorizes a Municipalities’ powers for taxation.
Finally, Part IX.1 of the Municipal Act , provides powers to a Municipality to impose a vacant unit tax subject to being designated as a Municipality that can impose the tax. O. Reg. 458/22 designates Ottawa as a Municipality that can impose the vacant unit tax.
