Secondary Suite Incentive Program

The Secondary Suite Incentive Program supports safe housing for all. The incentive program will provide qualifying homeowners with up to $10,000  to build and register a secondary suite. 

The incentive program applies to suites built within the main dwelling, not for backyard or detached suites. Applications are limited to one per person, and you must own the property through the entire process.  

Qualifying homeowners can apply for the incentive program if they have an active building permit for a secondary suite. All work done after you apply to the incentive program is considered, work done before you apply to the incentive program does not qualify for funding. You can get a building permit at apply.calgary.ca.

You will qualify for reimbursement for the cost of installing all required safety elements that aren't in the space when you apply. The day you apply for the incentive program is used as the start date for work associated with the safety elements that are considered for qualification. Work done prior to the date you apply for the incentive program will not be considered for funding. The incentive program isn’t intended to fully fund construction of a secondary suite.

With a commitment to excellence and a passion for design, we deliver innovative solutions that transform spaces and enhance your quality of life.
