What are the fees and penalties for failing to register?

Applicants for a Vacant Property Registration Certificate must submit a $250 application fee upon submission of the application.

Certificates are valid for one year from the date of issuance. The annual renewal fee is $250.

Issuance of a Vacant Property Registration Certificate does not excuse owners from normal obligations in regards to property maintenance. Citations arising from code violations may be issued independently by Police Officers, Building Inspectors, or other code enforcement officers if code violations are not addressed promptly.

Unpaid Fees

Fees that are left unpaid will be attached to the current tax bill for the unregistered property.
