A property tax grant is financial assistance from provincial or municipal government that reduces the amount of property tax a homeowner must pay. These grants typically target specific groups who might struggle with property taxes, such as seniors on fixed incomes, people with disabilities, low-income households, or veterans. Programs vary by province and municipality. Some grants are automatic based on eligibility criteria, while others require applications. Examples include Ontario's Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant and British Columbia's Home Owner Grant. Property tax grants help ensure long-time residents aren't forced from their homes due to rising property values and taxes.
