Okotoks’ homeowners can apply for the Secondary Suite and Accessory Dwelling Unit Grant starting Monday, January 9, 2023 at 8:30am. Applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis and are subject to funding availability.
Homeowners can apply for grants up to $10,000 to offset the costs of building a new secondary suite or accessory dwelling and up to $5,000 to upgrade an existing suite to meet safety code requirements.
Some examples of eligible expenses for the grant include:
- development permit fees
- building permit fees
- fees for professional plans/drawings required for permit submissions
- construction/labour costs related to work under approved building permit
- construction supplies/materials for the project
The goal is to support the creation of new secondary suites and accessory dwelling units in Okotoks. The grant also encourages residents to bring existing non-compliant secondary suites into building code compliance by incorporating safety measures.
