Proposed Reform to the Vacancy Tax Rebate Program

The County of Essex and the municipalities of Kingsville, Leamington, Essex, Tecumseh, LaSalle, Lakeshore and Amherstburg are considering a change to the existing vacancy tax rebate program for commercial and industrial properties. Under the proposal, these changes would go into effect for 2018.

The intent of this change is to encourage the use of vacant properties to help support vibrant and sustainable communities.
