Welcome to another episode of The Real Estate Podcast with Nico James-Bock, a Broker with Royal LePage Signature Realty in Downtown Toronto.  

The City of Toronto's Vacant Home Tax came into effect on Jan 01 2023.  All Toronto residential property owners must submit a declaration of their property’s 2022 occupancy status by February 2nd 2023. 

Keep in mind that a property is considered vacant by the City of Toronto if it was NOT used as the principal residence by the owner(s) or any permitted occupant(s), or was unoccupied for a total of six months or more during the previous calendar year.

Guest: David Rider, City Hall Bureau Chief

After a long election campaign, it comes as no surprise to many that John Tory won a third term as mayor of Toronto. What is surprising is the new makeup of council, with many progressive, diverse candidates winning seats. Some won in surprising wards, while a number of other familiar faces easily took their seats as voter turnout was around 29 per cent. The new look at city hall is something that everyone is going to have to get used to, as there are looming problems ahead for the city including a billion-dollar budget hole.

Guest: Edward Keenan, city columnist

As municipal elections across Ontario enter their final week, the Toronto election has been bereft of interest. Sure, housing and affordability are big issues, but those will require all levels of government working together to tackle. There are a lot of small things that add up to big quality of life improvements when living in a city, and it’s some of those where it feels like the city is dropping the ball. The Star has been exploring these issues in the “Can’t We Do Better” series.
