What is the Development Incentives Program?
There is currently a need for rental housing in the City of Dawson. In order to address land constraints and high construction costs, the City is providing financial incentives for projects for market rentals, affordable rental housing, supportive housing, secondary suites, and vacant properties. Depending on the project, the City is providing tax grants, waiving of development charges, and load capacity charges.
If you believe your project qualifies, please read our Development Incentives Policy to find out more about the program, and refer to the information below.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTED, THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE GRANTED UNTIL THE APPROVAL OF THE 2025 BUDGET BY COUNCIL. THIS IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE IN MARCH 2025. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
