Before applying for the 2026 Taoyuan rental subsidy, follow these four steps to reduce the need for additional documentation: First, check your eligibility for the Taoyuan rental subsidy (household registration, no self-owned housing, income threshold, rent cap) and the required lease agreement. Then, estimate your eligibility range by comparing it with the Taoyuan City subsidy tier cap and the additional subsidy multiplier. After preparing the lease agreement, account details, and proof of additional subsidies, submit your application online, by mail, or in person. Also, confirm the rules for bringing in existing residents and the starting point for account entry. After submission, you can use the Taoyuan rental subsidy inquiry service to track the review, corrections, and approval results.



How much is the rental subsidy in Taoyuan?

The subsidy amount is based on the actual rent, but there is a monthly subsidy tier cap for each household, and the higher tier will be selected depending on whether the household qualifies for additional subsidies; the approved amount shall not exceed the actual lease rent.

• Taoyuan City Monthly Subsidy Tier Upper Limit
• Level 1: 5,000 yuan/month
• Level 2: 4,000 yuan/month
• Level 3: 2,400 yuan/month

• Level 1/2/3 Key Points to Consider
• Level 1: Families with 2 or more members, including low-income households; or families with 3 or more members, including middle-to-low-income households.
• Level 2: Not Level 1, not Level 3
• Level 3: One family member under 40 years of age who does not have an economically or socially disadvantaged status.

• Taoyuan City rent cap
• The monthly rent shall not exceed 45,000 yuan.
• Apply the following principles to increase betting multipliers (choose the highest, avoid repetition):
• Those who qualify for two or more additional eligibility categories will receive the highest subsidy amount.
• Common multipliers: 1.2 times for single young adults, 1.3 times for newlywed couples, additional multiplier for couples with minor children (including unborn children) based on the number of children, 1.4 times for economically disadvantaged individuals, and 1.2 times for socially disadvantaged individuals.

• Key Differences in the Increased Emphasis on Marriage and Childbearing in 2016
• Newlywed couples: 1.3 times the rate for those who registered their marriage before December 31, 2014 (inclusive); 1.5 times the rate for those who registered their marriage on January 1, 2015 (inclusive).
• For families with children: For families with a newborn on or after January 1, 2015, the rate is double for one minor child, 2.5 times for two minor children, and 3 times for three minor children; for each additional minor child beyond three, an additional 0.5 times the rate applies.
• The total amount of subsidies shall still not exceed the actual rent stipulated in the lease; the income standard for married and childbearing groups may be relaxed (subject to the announcement and review by the competent authority).

• Quick Amount Calculation Process
• First determine levels 1/2/3 → then obtain the upper limit of Taoyuan City level.
• Confirm eligibility for additional betting → Select higher multiplier (marriage and childbirth betting is subject to the 2016 rules).
• The maximum amount that can be claimed is estimated by multiplying the "maximum tier" by a multiple, and then compared with the actual rent, taking the lower of the two.
