Declaration Reminders
All residential property owners are required to declare the occupancy status of their properties for the 2024 tax year by Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Failure to submit a declaration by the deadline will result in the residential unit being deemed vacant, and the Vacant Unit Tax will be applied.
Full details on the different ways that residential property owners can submit a declaration, including online, via phone, email, and by mail, are available online at hamilton.ca/VacantUnitTax.
