Need some help filling out your Vacant Unit Tax form?
Starting next week, Vacant Unit Tax staff will be hosting in-person drop-in clinics across all Wards, providing direct assistance to residential property owners in completing their Vacant Unit Tax declaration accurately and on time. If you can't make it to the one in Ward 11, you can attend whichever is convenient for you.

📅 Monday, March 31, 2025
📍 Glanbrook Arena, 4300 Binbrook Road, Glanbrook

💡 No appointment necessary! Simply bring your Notice to Declare Letter (dated February 3, 2025) or your most recent property tax bill for assistance.
✅ Declaration Deadline: April 30, 2025
Failure to declare by this date will result in the unit being deemed vacant, and the tax will be applied. For full details, including alternative submission methods, visit hamilton.ca/VacantUnitTax.

Quick Facts:
• The Vacant Unit Tax aims to increase the supply of housing in Hamilton by encouraging residential property owners to keep their properties occupied rather than vacant. Following the recovery of administrative costs, revenues generated from the Vacant Unit Tax will be reinvested into affordable housing initiatives.
• The Vacant Unit Tax applies to all properties classified as residential under the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), including single-family detached, townhouses, row houses, and multi-family dwellings (duplexes to sixplexes). In Hamilton, this represents approximately 180,000 properties.
• To date, approximately 49 per cent of property owners have made their declarations, with 93 per cent completed using the online declaration portal.
