What is the Expansion of Eligibility to low-income seniors and others?
Starting in the 2007 tax year, the additional grant is provided to some low-income homeowners or occupants (which includes an eligible occupant of an eligible apartment, housing unit, land cooperative or multi-dwelling leased parcel) who would otherwise qualify for the grant except that their home’s assessed value is above the threshold. This ensures low-income seniors and other qualified individuals who own and reside in properties that have increased in value beyond the threshold and who may face financial hardship may receive some or all of the grant. This program is administered by the Ministry of Finance. For questions about the program, please contact the Home Owner Grant Administration Office.
