Home Owner
Grants
The Home Owner
Grant Program is one of two property tax assistance programs offered
by the Surveyor of Taxes office. The program began in 1957 to help
homeowners reduce the amount of taxes they pay on their home.
There are two
categories of Home Owner Grants:
You may claim
the regular grant if your property taxes are at least $350.
You may claim the additional grant if your property taxes
are at least $100. Your grant cannot reduce your net payment
below these amounts.
A homeowner
may qualify for either the regular grant or the additional grant,
not both. To receive the grant, both the owner and
the property must meet the qualification requirements.

the Property Tax Deferment
Program.
Note
- If you live in an incorporated municipality, you must contact
your municipality regarding property tax enquiries, including home
owner grant enquiries.
