Get the Grant!

As we approach the end of June, all home owners should have now received their property tax notice. If you have your lender or the municipality collecting for your property tax bill, then sit back and relax about the money side of it. But remember, in B.C. you must still claim your Home Owners Grant. All home owners who live in their home as a principal residence must claim the Home Owners Grant to get $570 off your property taxes. You can claim this each year you live in your home. If you fail to claim the grant, the municipality will charge you the extra $570, plus interest if you are late on the payment. If you have questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help.
