Home Owners Grant & the Disability Tax Credit

The Home Owner Grant lessens the amount of tax you pay for your primary residence. Persons who own houses and who live with disabilities or home owners that live with a spouse or a relative with a disability are eligible for an additional home owner grant of up to $845, additionally if the property you are receiving the grant for is located in the northern, rural area of British Columbia you the grant increases to $1045.

  • Live in British Columbia.
  • Be a permanent resident of Canada or a Canadian Citizen.
  • Be an eligible occupant or the owner of the residence.
  • Pay the property taxes for the residence to the province or a municipality.

The value of your property also has an impact on the amount of the grant. If the value of your property is less than $1,464,000, then the amount of the you qualify for will be reduced by $5 for every $1,000 of the property’s value over $1,295,000

Property Tax Deferment Program

This tax deferment program is a low interest loan that offers you the ability to defer paying all or a part of your property taxes on your primary residence if you are a person with disabilities. For the property tax deferment program your disability must:

  • Be likely to last for at least two years.
  • Significantly and directly affect your ability to perform daily activities.
  • Require the significant help of another person, or an assistance animal as a result of the restrictions of your disability.

There are more conditions to qualifying for tax deferment. You will not qualify if:

  • The property is a second residence
  • You lease the property from the registered owner.
  • The property is registered in the name of a business.
  • There is a certificate of pending litigation on the property.

The Province of British Columbia offers many opportunities for persons with disabilities to ease the financial burden of restricted living. With these programs a person with a disability can live comfortably without having to worry about how they will put gas in their car or pay for the roof over their head.
