Section S in your RPIE statement. This applies to all
tax class two and four property owners with ground-
floor or second-floor storefronts, even if you are
otherwise exempt from filing an annual income and
expense statement.
Owners of class one property in commercially zoned
areas must register their storefronts if the space was
vacant or owner-occupied for any days during the
previous year

a 2022/23 Tax Commission hearing.
