My home received over 100,000 damage due to city sewage. The city paid in the form of a grant. Can I claim cost of repairs

@regina-mach If you received compensation to cover the costs then no, that would be double dipping.

The grant is non-taxable income and if it covered all your costs, you can not deduct the expense unless you reported the grant as income as well.
