I claim my dad as a dependent and he lives in the house that I own but is not my primary home. Can I claim both homes as a primary home?

No, you can have only one primary home.  

 

You can claim mortgage interest for your primary home and one additional home as part of Schedule A Itemized Deductions.  You can also claim property tax that you paid for both homes without them both being considered your primary home.
