Vacant Property Registry

The Vacant Property Registration Program, is aimed at promoting economic development, ensuring safety, and preserving the historic charm of the downtown area. Addressing the concerns surrounding long-term vacant buildings and their potential hazards, this program also seeks to revitalize the allure of Main Street, supporting the local economy and businesses that rely on a thriving community.

Under the Vacant Property Registration Program, property owners are required to register their vacant buildings with the city, promoting transparency and accountability. To ensure the well-being of the community, owners must demonstrate maintenance and liability insurance coverage for their properties. Additionally, they are encouraged to outline their future plans for the property, whether through rentals, sales, or renovations.

This collaborative effort is expected to yield numerous benefits for the Town Pilot Mountain. By motivating property owners to invest in their vacant spaces or facilitate opportunities for new ventures, the town envisions a surge in economic growth and prosperity. Regular inspections by the town will address safety concerns and mitigate potential risks, safeguarding both property and livelihoods. Moreover, the program's focus on preventing "demolition by neglect" aims to preserve the town's unique historical character and identity.

With the Vacant Property Registration Program, the Town of Pilot Mountain aims to forge a stronger partnership between the community and property owners, fostering a revitalized and secure downtown area. Together, they aspire to create an inviting and dynamic environment that will fill residents and visitors with pride. The Town encourages everyone's support and input, recognizing that collaboration is key to the success of this initiative.
