Last Update: May 8, 2026
Latest change: The grant content now shows a substantially different tax deferral program with new York Region material, revised eligibility rules, and a September 30 annual application deadline.
Tax deferral program content updated
The grant content now includes substantial York Region tax deferral material alongside the Norfolk County version, with different audience definitions, income rules, and documentation requirements. It also adds an annual September 30 application deadline and revised deferral conditions such as the 75% assessed-value cap and lien language. Because the page now presents mixed program details, the overall grant details should be reviewed carefully before use.
