Eligibility criteria
2018 home owner grant threshold increased to $1.65 million
In 2018 the home owner grant threshold of assessed or partitioned value is $1.65 million (from $1.6 million in 2017). The grant is reduced by $5 for each $1,000 above the threshold.
- The basic grant is eliminated when the assessed or partitioned value reaches $1.764 million
- The additional grant is eliminated when the assessed or partitioned value reaches $1.819 million
If you qualify for the seniors or other additional grant, but the grant amount has been reduced or eliminated due to the $1.65 million threshold, you may still be eligible for the low income grant supplement 
.
