Charlottesville Homeownership Preservation Grant Program

The Charlottesville Homeownership Preservation Grant Program is designed to offset the effects of increased assessments for Charlottesville homeowners that do not otherwise qualify for senior, disabled, or other tax-relief programs.

In 2009, eligibility was determined by:

• legal ownership of a residential property on Jan 1, 2009,
• resident in the property,
• owe no delinquent property taxes,
• assessment value of the property not more than $365,000
• federal adjusted gross income for 2008 not more than $50,000, and
• no ownership of any other real estate, regardless of jurisdiction.

Eligible owners qualify for a grant of either $375 or $525, to be applied to the second half real estate bill.
