CTV News • January 13, 2022
Homeowners in British Columbia whose property is valued at just under $2 million will still be eligible for the annual homeowner grant.
The provincial government announced Wednesday it has raised the grant threshold to $1.975 million for this year.
The government says in a news release that the new cap will ensure 92 per cent of residential properties are covered, lowering the amount of taxes people pay on their principal residence.
