In an effort to promote and preserve homeownership, the Charlottesville City Council is again offering grants to homeowners who may not otherwise qualify for the City’s elderly and disabled tax relief programs.
These grants help offset the financial hardships faced by many homeowners due to rising real estate assessments.
You may qualify for a grant if:
- you are the legal owner AND occupant of your home (valued at $365,000 or less)
- you owe no delinquent real estate taxes
- your household income is $50,000 or less
- and you own no other real estate property (anywhere).
Applications have been mailed to homeowners whose dwelling is valued at $365,000 or less (and who are not already receiving real estate tax relief for the elderly and/or disabled).
However if you think you might qualify but have not received an application, please call the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office at 434-970-3160 or visit their website at www.charlottesville.org/COR.
The deadline for application is September 1, 2016.
