The Homeowner Grant is a British Columbia program that reduces property taxes for eligible homeowners who use their property as their principal residence. The basic grant reduces property taxes by a set amount, with additional reductions available for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. Grant amounts are periodically adjusted. To qualify, applicants must own and occupy their home as their principal residence and meet certain criteria. Properties assessed above a threshold receive reduced grants on a sliding scale. The Homeowner Grant is claimed annually during property tax payment. This program reflects BC's approach to property tax relief—rather than lower rates or different assessment rules, direct grants offset tax bills for owner-occupants. The program distinguishes between owner-occupied homes (eligible) and investment properties, second homes, and rental properties (not eligible), targeting relief to residents rather than investors.
