The Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) was denied due to the home located on the 

property. Since a person is only entitiled to one PRE, and David Kopke has a PRE at

that the property was unocuppied. That information was not provided, was not available 

for consideration, prior to the denial. Once denied, the property owner must appeal to 

the Tribunal, as Mr. Kopke has done.
