She said she was hit with the unexpected tax bill after she failed to make her Vacant Home Tax declaration for 2023 and the city deemed her condo unoccupied.
“Obviously it is a bit of shock to get this kind of bill in the mail,” Walker told CP24.com on Thursday.
They tax you for being away from home.
