The Town of Oakville is proposing to implement a vacant property registry by-law. If you are the owner of a vacant property you will be required to register your property with the town under the proposed new by-law. Municipal enforcement staff will be proactively monitoring properties that appear vacant.
A draft by-law was presented to Council at the Planning and Development Council meeting on June 10.
Council directed staff to gather further public input and present a new proposed by-law in September.
Vacant and unoccupied buildings that are not maintained can become infested with pests, attract trespassers, and have negative impacts on property values. Although the town’s Property Standards By-law addresses some of the issues that vacant properties present, other issues such as ensuring buildings are regularly inspected and have sufficient
insurance need to be addressed.
