WHEREAS the provincial government also forces municipalities to rebate property taxes to commercial and industrial property owners who allow a property to remain vacant for more than three months; and
WHEREAS these two policy goals are completely at odds with one another, as the situation in both cases is the same; that is, that rent or lease rates are higher than the market can sustain; and
WHEREAS the rebate program costs municipalities in Ontario millions in lost property tax revenue, revenue that then needs to be made up by residents in the community;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Ontario government take immediate steps to eliminate the provincially mandated commercial and industrial property tax rebate program, so as to remain consistent with its current proposed legislation on residential vacancies;
