$$
Since 1957, the BC Government has helped reduce the amount of property taxes you pay to your local government. To be eligible for the grant, the property owner must be: •
A Canadian citizen or landed immigrant and reside in British Columbia • The registered owner or eligible occupant of the home located within the province. • Living in the home as your principal residence. The grant doesn’t apply to summer cottages, second homes or rental properties Spouses who live together, who are married or live together in a marriage-like relationship, including same-sex partners, can qualify for a grant on one residence in the province in a calendar year. Spouses who live apart can each claim a grant on their principal residence if they have a written separation agreement or a court order recognizing the separation. Eligible home owners must apply for their grant each year before their tax due date.
How much is the grant?
$
The basic grant reduces taxes for home owners under the age of 65 by up to $570. The additional grant for home owners aged 65+ and eligible veterans and disabled home owners is $275, for up to a total of $845. The basic grant is reduced by $5 for each $1,000 of assessed value over $1,150,000 and is eliminated on homes assessed at $1,264,000 and above. The additional grant is reduced by $5 for each $1,000 of assessed value over $1,150,000 and is eliminated on homes assessed at $1,319,000 and above.

If you own a property with others, decide which owner will pay the taxes so you don’t pay twice. If, for example, there are three owners living in a dwelling as a principal residence, only one Home Owner Grant can be claimed.
an apartment building housing cooperative buildings housing society buildings
The corporation or cooperative or society applies for grants for all eligible property or units in the building and passes the grant benefit to qualifying occupants. An eligible property includes: •
land shown as a separate taxable parcel on a tax roll that has a taxable improvement • a building containing at least two apartment units, each occupied by an eligible occupant • eligible land cooperative residences • a multi-dwelling leased parcel with two or more residences on it Read more on property taxes and other important consumer issues at: www.vireb.com

THE NANAIMO REAL ESTATE REVIEW, JANUARY 22, 2015 – 13
Preparing Your Home Sale When selling your home, it’s more than purchase price and location that will make or break a deal. How your home looks is also very important. Your REALTOR® can give you an objective opinion of what you need to do. REALTORS® have the experience and knowledge that can help identify problem areas or suggest improvements. In most cases, REALTORS® will not suggest major renovations. A few minor repairs here and there and a thorough cleaning are usually all that are required. Cleaning up the homestead: Almost all buyers are on the lookout for one thing -- a clean home. Many will walk away if a home looks uncared for, or make an offer much lower than the listing price. Ensure your home is spotless and free of clutter. The two most important rooms in a buyer’s mind are the kitchen and the bathroom. Pay particular attention to these areas -- they should sparkle and shine. Making repairs: Some things must be repaired if there are problems. A leaky roof, electrical problems, furnaces, water heaters and plumbing all must be fixed before a sale. Other things just need attention. These can include leaky faucets, holes in window screens and any broken glass, etc. If some of your walls are too dirty to come clean, you may wish to consider a paint job. Carpets and rugs should also be clean and in good repair. Outside and In: Take a close look at your yard. If it’s spring or summer, prune the trees and shrubs, and keep the lawn neat. If it’s fall, rake the leaves regularly. And in the winter, make sure walks and driveways are kept clear of snow and ice. To renovate or not to renovate: Most renovations do not translate into an increase in selling price of more than the cost of the renovations themselves. Painting, wallpapering and modest landscape improvements usually recover their costs, but major projects such as new patios, decks or additions rarely do.

KNOWLEDGE
If knowledge is power, then a REALTOR is the most powerful professional ally you can have when it comes to selling or buying your home. When you work with a REALTOR, you’re getting the advantage of professional training and practical experience. A REALTOR will get you the facts: comparable prices, neighbourhood trends, housing market conditions and more. A REALTOR will help you understand the significance of terms like “conditional offer”, “interim financing” and “right of first refusal.” And remember, only a REALTOR, a member of The Canadian Real Estate Association, has access to the Multiple Listing Service®, Canada’s most powerful real estate marketing system.
Only a Realtor is qualified to handle the most important financial transaction of your life.
