The home owner grant reduces the amount of property taxes you pay each year on your principal residence.
Most veterans can apply for the home owner grant as a:
- Person under 65 (regular grant)
- Senior
- Person with a disability
Grant supplements for veterans
If you have an adjusted net income of $32,000 or less you may qualify for a:
- Supplement for veterans under 65
- Low income grant supplement for surviving spouses of veterans who received a War Veterans Allowance
Surviving spouses of veterans who received war veterans allowance
You may qualify for a higher grant amount, if you:
- Are the surviving spouse of a veteran who received a War Veterans Allowance
- Are under 65 years of age
- Meet the same requirements for the home owner grant for seniors, except the age limit criteria
If you qualified for the grant last year and didn’t apply, you may be able to claim the grant retroactively.
If you’re 65 or older in the current year, you can apply for the higher grant as a senior instead.
When you apply as a senior, you don’t need to provide additional documentation.
