The home owner grant is a provincial program that helps reduce the amount of residential property tax you pay.
Tips for claiming your grant:
- You must apply for your home owner grant each year
- Check if you're eligible and for which grant amount
- If you pay your taxes at your financial institution, submit your home owner grant to us separately; financial institutions no longer accept home owner grants
To avoid a 5% penalty on the outstanding property tax balance, make sure we receive your claim by the tax due date.
