TORONTO COUNCIL PASSES VACANT HOME FINE

 Owners of empty homes in Toronto will soon have to pay to keep their properties vacant.

City council has given their nod to a vacant home tax, requiring owners of empty homes and condos to pay a levy — most likely 1% of the property’s value — starting in 2022.

While reports suggest the levy could raise between $55 to $66 million annually, Councillor Mike Layton said revenue isn’t the goal.
