[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC should disincentivize a property sitting vacant long term.[/quote] They do - there’s a penalty tax rate for vacant or blighted commercial and residential properties https://otr.cfo.dc.gov/page/real-property-tax-rates[/quote] That is not enforced. [/quote] Oh it’s definitely enforced. I’m living through a renovation and the incompetent “vacant buildings” department of DCRA has repeatedly harassed me by “deeming my property vacant” just because it looks like a construction site at the moment. I’ve repeatedly demonstrated that I live here, and they agree, and then another DCRA inspector comes and slaps another sticker on threatening to tax me at exorbitant rates. [/quote] That must be a recent development. https://wamu.org/story/17/09/21/d-c-failed-enforce-law-vacant-blighted-homes-says-audit/[/quote] 2017 was....5 years ago.[/quote]
