What Businesses Say
"Empty storefronts drag down the entire corridor. We've been trying to grow for years and can't find affordable space. The vacancy fee would finally change the incentives."
— Superette Market, Oak Park
"We support anything that gets vacant properties back into community use. Sacramento has the talent and demand — we just need the space to be available."
— Scout Living, Midtown
How It Works
An escalating annual fee on commercial vacancy creates a financial incentive for property owners to lease at market-accessible rates.
City assessor data + community canvassing identifies chronically vacant commercial spaces.
Starting at $0.50/sq ft/month, rising each year of continued vacancy to incentivize action.
Fee revenue goes toward small business support, affordable commercial space, and neighborhood investment.
Properties lease at accessible rates, supporting local entrepreneurs and activating Sacramento's commercial corridors.
