In light of the impact of this year’s assessment increases, the BC Government announced this week that they will be reviewing the homeowner grant threshold level.
According to Landcor Data Corporation, for the first time in Metro Vancouver’s history, more homeowners will NOT qualify for the Homeowners’ Grant this year compared to those who will qualify.
Here are Landcor’s numbers:
- 213,412 households will lose all or part of the grant
- 206,745 households will keep the grant
