Via durhamnc.gov
The Longtime Homeowner Grant is designed to assist longtime homeowners that may have experienced an increase in their property taxes due to the City of Durham’s revitalization efforts in the Southside, Northeast Central Durham (NECD), and Southwest Central Durham (SWCD) target areas.
TO BE ELIGIBLE you must:

The City will determine if your property is within the boundary that qualifies for assistance.
