DAVIDSON, NC — The Town of Davidson developed the Davidson Tax Assistance Program (DTAP) to provide grant funding on behalf of qualifying residential homeowners. The intent of this program is to support the town’s goal of anti-displacement. Eligible residents may apply for assistance from September 1, 2023 through December 1, 2023.

Grant funds will be paid directly to the Mecklenburg or Iredell Tax Collector in an amount up to 25% of the Town of Davidson’s portion of ad valorem taxes on the current year’s tax bill, not to exceed $335 per year. The FY2024 DTAP is funded by a $22,000 donation from the Davidson Community Foundation.

In response to the town board’s approval of the new program, Mayor Knox has this to say, “I am pleased that we are taking this action to provide assistance to eligible residents so that they may remain in their homes.” 

DTAP applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis until the funds are exhausted. Applicants will be notified of the approval of their application on a rolling basis. Incomplete applications will not be approved; completed applications may be resubmitted before the application deadline on December 1. Program recipients must reapply for DTAP annually.
