Mary Walker received a surprise tax bill of over $2,500 for her Scarborough condo, which she currently resides in. She overlooked the annual declaration requirement and did not receive any reminders from the city. The situation has caused frustration for homeowners who now need to resolve the issue with the city.
Mary Walker said she got a “bit of shock” when she opened up a piece of mail from the City of Toronto last month, informing her that she owed more than $2,500 in taxes for the “vacant” Scarborough condo where she currently resides.“Obviously it is a bit of shock to get this kind of bill in the mail,” Walker told CP24.com on Thursday.
“It is just frustrating to try and sort this out with such a large, busy office,” said Walker, who has already filed a Notice of Complaint online. “I certainly don’t want to have to go down to city hall to speak to someone.” “I’m just furious, and I’m upset, and distressed at the same time,” she said, adding that it is obvious from the utility bills that the residence is occupied. “A good cross-reference is the water bill.”
Matlow added that conversations are underway about how the city can better identify properties that are vacant. In 2022, there were 2,336 property owners who declared their residential units vacant, while 44,902 other properties were initially deemed vacant by the city because no declaration was made. Late declarations received through a complaints process eventually reduced the number of homes deemed vacant to 17,437.
