Am I eligible for the Seniors home owners property tax grant?

[werner1950]

WHen I click on it, it seems to limit the grant to living on a reserve or up north.

If you are referring to the Ontario Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant, the following is the eligibility requirements:

An eligible senior is any individual who, on December 31 of the previous taxation year, was 64 years of age or older, was a resident of Ontario, owned and occupied (or whose spouse or common-law partner owned and occupied) a principal residence for which he/she (or his/her spouse or common-law partner) paid Ontario property taxes, was not confined to a prison or similar institution and meets the income requirements. In addition, the spouse or common-law partner of the individual must not have received a Property Tax Grant for the current fiscal year.
