In 2019, the home owner grant threshold of assessed or partitioned value is $1.65 million. 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 .
