The City of Wilmington, Del., has advanced proposed changes to its municipal housing code, which features several amendments to its vacant property registration program. Included is a registration fee increase for properties that remain vacant for more than three years and a registration requirement for buildings that are vacant for six consecutive months instead of 45 consecutive days. The legislation passed a Finance & Economic Development Committee vote on May 29, 2019.
