Yukon Home Owner’s Grant Program
Property owners may be eligible for a Yukon Home Owner’s Grant. The Home Owner's Grant reduces the amount of property tax you pay for your principal residence. The main residence is the only portion of a mixed-use or agricultural property that is eligible for the Home Owner's Grant. 

Grant Amount:
Eligible individuals can receive up to 50% of the property taxes owing on their residence to a maximum of $450 and subject to a $100 minimum tax. Eligible individuals 65+ can receive up to 75% of the property taxes owing on their residence to a maximum of $500.

Eligibility
Apply for 1 grant each year if you:

  • are a Yukon home owner;
  • have paid property taxes in full; and
  • lived in your home for 184 days (6 months) of the tax year.

Apply:
