Owners in sa国际传媒 with property valued at under $1.975 million will be eligible for the annual homeowner grant.

The provincial government announced Wednesday that it had raised the grant threshold. It was $1.625 million in 2021.

The new cap will ensure 92 per cent of ­residential properties are covered, lowering the amount of taxes people pay on their ­principal residence, the government said.

People who own and live in their homes in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Capital Regional District are eligible for the $570 basic grant, or up to $845 for those with a disability or who are 65 and older.

The basic grant for those in northern and rural areas is $770, or $1,045 for those who are disabled or over 65.

The sa国际传媒 Assessment Authority released property valuations this week, showing increases in almost every part of the ­province.
