Save your Property Taxes

You may be able to save your property taxes with Ontario Vacant Rebate and Reduction Programs. Ontario is now moving forward with providing municipalities broad flexibility for 2017 and future years to tailor the vacant rebate and reduction programs to reflect community needs and circumstances. Consistent with the plan to ensure that municipalities considering changes to the vacancy programs take into account the interests of local businesses, the Ministry has provided municipalities with the attached bulletin and checklist, which focuses largely on municipal engagement with the business community.

Since 1998, the Vacant Unit Rebate and Vacant/Excess Land Subclasses have provided tax rebates and reductions to property owners who have vacancies in commercial and industrial buildings or land.

Vacant Unit Rebates: The Vacant Unit Rebate provides a tax rebate to property owners who have vacancies in commercial and industrial buildings. This application-based program is administered by municipalities. The current rebate is 30% of the property tax for vacant commercial space and 35% for vacant industrial space.
Vacant and Excess Land Property Tax Subclass: Commercial and industrial properties or portions of these properties in the Vacant and Excess Land Property Tax Subclasses are taxed at a fixed percentage rate below the tax rate of the broad class. These properties are discounted at 30% to 35% of the full Commercial and/or Industrial rate.

Currently, upper- and single-tier municipalities may choose to apply the same percentage of relief (between 30% – 35%) to both the commercial and industrial property classes.

Real estate transactions can significantly increase the tax burden of property. Do you have changes in use, a local sale price, demolition, or construction? All which detrimentally impact your assessment values, classification, exemptions and, ultimately the amount of property taxes that you pay.

We recommend that every property should review their property tax assessments as regular process of Property Tax Diligence. This process includes a review of the current property tax obligations, examination of financial records including rent rolls, an evaluation of any outstanding appeals before the relevant assessment tribunals, as well as an estimate of the tax liability for the property owner and the tenants.

We are here to help you to mitigate your risks, by reducing the costs associated with your property tax diligence by mitigating the costs of the review process by being paid only if a successful property tax recovery can be achieved.
