Request Form

Habitable Property

If an owner of a Vacant Property wishes to seek an exemption from payment of the vacant property registration fee, the Owner must complete this form prior to the date the registration is due and submit all of the documentation required. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the denial of the owner's exemption request.

Restoration to Productive Project

An owner may be exempted from the vacant property registration requirements if the Vacant Property is habitable wherein (i) all building systems are in sound working order which is evidenced by the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, (ii) the building and grounds are maintained in good order, and (iii) the building is being actively marketed for sale or rental. The fact that an owner has secured the required permits to rehabilitate the vacant property is not prima facie evidence that the Vacant Property is habitable, but will be used as one of the factors to determine if the Vacant Property may be exempted from the registration requirements.
