Claim Your Home Owners Grant Before Year End
As we approach the end of the year one of the things you may not be thinking about is claiming your Home Owners’ Grant. The Home Owner’s Grant is a base amount of $570.00 off your property taxes if the property is your primary resident; this amount is different if you are a senior citizen. What is important to remember is that if you’re a First Time Home Buyer and your lender pays your property taxes on your behalf, this process needs to be done by you. You may have already claimed your Grant when you received your tax notice, but if not, then claiming your Home Owners’ Grant can be done in few different ways:
- Electronically on the city’s website
