I have lived here for many years but have never applied for the Provincial Home Owner Grant. Can I claim for prior years?
• If you failed to apply for a grant during the current tax year you may request a Retroactive Provincial Home Owner Grant. You must provide a written explanation for missing the deadline, and a completed and signed Retroactive Home Owner Grant Application must accompany your letter. • You may only apply for the previous year’s grant; grants from years prior to the one most previous year are not available. • In order to apply for a Retroactive grant, you must be able to prove that you lived on the property at December 31st of the previous year. This can be done by providing copies of utility bills (with stubs attached) as close to the month of December of the previous year that show that the bill was mailed to you at the address you are requesting the grant. Legitimate mail such as Fire Insurance policy, bank statements, income tax statements, and medical bills must coincide with owner’s name and civic address. • Former owners are not eligible for the Retroactive Provincial Home Owner
