Miryang-si Implements Comprehensive Vacant House Maintenance Project ... Creating a Pleasant Residential Environment

Vacant House Maintenance ... Creation of Public Parking Lots and Resident Convenience Facilities

Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced on the 25th that it will implement a Comprehensive Vacant House Maintenance Project to renovate vacant houses that pose safety and crime risks and create a pleasant residential environment.

Since 2022, this project has expanded from the previous initiative that only partially supported demolition costs to a program that allows vacant houses to be utilized as public land after maintenance. By renovating abandoned vacant houses, the project aims to create shared facilities such as public parking lots and community convenience facilities, achieving dual benefits.

This project offers full support for demolition costs if the vacant house owner agrees to use the property as public land for 1 to 3 years, along with a full exemption from property tax during the usage period. It is a noteworthy program for those who want to deal with troublesome vacant houses.

The city is currently conducting a demand survey for target sites through the Eup, Myeon, and Dong administrative welfare centers, and plans to carry out on-site inspections based on the survey results and officially launch the project from May.

Yoo Jae-gwan, head of the Architecture Division, said, “The Comprehensive Vacant House Maintenance Project is a great initiative to clean up the city’s landscape by renovating abandoned vacant houses,” and added, “We ask for the active interest of residents, including vacant house owners.”
