use of land, infrastructure and services like transit already in place Ensures the population needed for neighbourhood schools and amenities to stay open Improves safety with less “dead space” and more “eyes on the street” How do I know which incentive program to apply for? Please review the Eligibility Criteria for each program found on this page to determine where your project is a fit. If you have further questions, email us at revitalize@regina.ca What if there is no remaining grant funding by the time I apply? Grants are committed on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is no funding remaining for grants when we receive your application, you may be offered a tax exemption instead. If I renovate my home, will it qualify for capital incentives? Potentially. If the work is solely for exterior restoration or improvement, then no. If you are doing work to bring a building in to code compliance, you may be eligible for revitalization incentives including for exterior improvement work. If my project is already underway, can I apply for incentives? You can, but with limitations. The Intensification Incentive Program will only include costs incurred after the application is approved. If your project is already started, the work done to date may not be eligible. The exception to this is certain pre-development work such as site serviceability studies, environmental assessments and others. You can refer to the policies for a full list. The Revitalization Incentive Program will consider costs incurred up to one year prior to application so you may be able to apply even after your project is complete. Can I apply for both programs with the same project? Yes, with limitations. If your project is eligible under more than one program, the City will make the final decision on whether it can be included under both programs and what costs are included under which program. A project may not be eligible to receive tax exemptions under both programs. Contact us at revitalize@regina.ca for further information. If I still owe back taxes to the City or have standing orders against my property, will I still qualify for incentives? Unfortunately, no. Applicants and property owners that have taxes or other charges past due to the City of Regina, or which have outstanding orders are not eligible for support under these policies.
