Complete your Vacant Unit Tax declaration before March 21

It’s time for Ottawa homeowners to complete their online Vacant Unit Tax (VUT) declaration at ottawa.ca/vut for each residential property they own before the March 21 deadline. A $250 late fee will be applied to all declarations filed after the deadline.

To complete the declaration, visit ottawa.ca/vut, click Submit declaration, and log on with the roll number and access code found on last year’s property tax bill or information notices that will be sent by email or Canada Post. Email notices will be sent to those who provided their email addresses on last year’s declaration. Please also check your junk folder. Residents registered with MySeviceOttawa can go directly to the declaration from their property tax account.

Telephone option

· Call 613-580-2400 to contact the City using Canada Video Relay Service

In-person option at Client Service Centres

City’s Client Service Centres can provide in-person assistance for completing the declaration. Priority will be given to scheduled appointments. Visit ottawa.ca/csc for locations and appointments. the hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The three rural centres are open one day a week from 8:30 am to 4 pm.
