Vacant Property Compliance Map
Is Your City Covered?
Over 550 U.S. cities have vacant property ordinances. Some require weekly inspections. Some require nothing at all. Find out where your city stands — and what it means for your property.
Four Levels of Municipal Oversight
Not all vacant property ordinances are created equal. The tier your city falls into determines what you’re required to do — and what your risk exposure is if you don’t.
Weekly or Bi-Weekly Mandate
City ordinance requires frequent, documented inspections — often by a licensed local operator. The highest standard of municipal oversight. Your city has seen what happens when nobody watches and wrote the law accordingly.
Monthly Monitoring Program
City operates an active monitoring program with monthly inspections, fees per property, and escalating penalties. Seattle charges up to $542/month and requires three consecutive clean inspections to exit.
Registration + Periodic Inspection
City requires registration, fees, insurance, and maintenance plans — with semi-annual or periodic city inspections. The most common ordinance tier in the U.S. Compliance-focused, not intelligence-focused.
No Ordinance or Minimal Requirements
City has no formal vacant property registration or monitoring requirement. The problem exists — the law hasn’t caught up. Risk is real regardless of whether it’s required. This is where B2B’s Pilot 150 program creates the standard cities don’t yet have.
