Eligible homeowners must claim their Homeowner Grant through the Province of British Columbia by July 17, 2023, to avoid a penalty. All grants should be claimed whether taxes are paid or not. If your tax payment is paid through a financial institution, they cannot claim the grant on your behalf. Property owners are responsible to claim the Homeowner Grant.
