The Vacant to Vibrant Amendment Act of 2025 aims to tackle the challenges posed by vacant and blighted properties in the District of Columbia through a series of comprehensive measures. Key provisions include the establishment of a tangled title information sheet to aid survivors in property ownership transfers, a will registry for safekeeping of wills, and a single-family home rehabilitation program offering grants for necessary repairs. The act also introduces real property tax payment plans for homeowners in financial distress, while refining the registration and management of vacant properties by amending existing laws to include new definitions, maintenance requirements, and the Mayor's authority to petition for receivership actions.

Additionally, the bill outlines a structured approach to the management of vacant buildings, mandating registration within 90 days and establishing penalties for noncompliance. It introduces a process for appointing receivers for nuisance properties, allowing for rehabilitation or sale, and sets forth an expedited permit review process for related permits. The legislation also modifies tax rates for vacant and blighted properties, progressively increasing them over time, and introduces a new tax credit for revitalizing residential properties. Overall, the act seeks to revitalize neighborhoods, enhance property management, and provide support for property owners while ensuring accountability and public safety.
