The core of Taichung's 2026 rental subsidy program is the central government's NT$30 billion rental subsidy. The subsidy amount varies depending on the administrative district of the rental location and the applicant's social status, and can be increased based on marriage/birth, youth status, or disadvantaged status. Before applying, three things must be completed: confirm that the rented property has a property tax registration and is properly maintained; check the maximum rental subsidy amount and the increase multiplier in Taichung; and prepare the lease agreement and bankbook cover, among other documents. After completing the eligibility checks, follow the online application process for Taichung City's rental subsidy, and use query and calculation tools to track the review and disbursement process.
