Claim the senior property tax grant without retyping your personal details

The Ontario Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant is claimed through the annual income tax return — and the personal identity fields on the schedule are the same name, address, and date of birth you enter on other Ontario government applications. This guide is an example of storing those repeating fields in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official Ontario source and always use the current version — eligibility criteria can change:

• Service page: Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant — ontario.ca

What this grant is about

The Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant helps low-to-moderate income seniors offset property tax costs. It is claimed on Schedule ON(S12) as part of the Ontario personal income tax return filed annually with the Canada Revenue Agency.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, date of birth, and address.
• Your property address (which may differ from your mailing address).
• Your annual income information for the applicable tax year.

Confirm current eligibility and income thresholds on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store your personal details once. Save your name, date of birth, and address in hivi.
2. Autofill the identity fields on the tax schedule or in your tax software using hivi.
3. Enter income details yourself — these are year-specific financial figures.
4. File your return including the grant claim.

Why do it in hivi

Personal identity fields — name, address, date of birth — repeat identically across every Ontario tax credit, government benefit, and ServiceOntario application. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with no third-party AI — each form starts mostly filled.
