Each year, every owner of residential property in Vancouver is required to submit a property status declaration to determine if their property is subject to the Empty Homes Tax.
Failure to declare by February 4, 2019, will result in your property being deemed vacant and subject to a tax of 1% of its assessed taxable value.
There will be no extended declaration submission deadline in 2019.- Jan 1, 2018
Start of tax year - Dec 31, 2018
End of tax year - Feb 4, 2019
Declaration deadline
The information you provide on your declaration will determine if your property is subject to the Empty Homes Tax for this period.
Before you begin your declaration
- Your folio number and access code [these can be found on your property tax notices
(204 KB)] - Additional information, such as tenant names, court order number, permit number, etc.
Audit process
Property status declarations will be subject to an audit process, in line with best practices for provincial and federal tax programs. If your property is selected for an audit, you will be asked to provide evidence in support of your declaration.
False declarations will result in fines of up to $10,000 per day of the continuing offense, in addition to payment of the tax.
