Residential Housing Incentives - Moosomin
The Town of Moosomin was approved for $992,000 in funding from the Federal Government's Housing Accelerator Fund in February of 2024 to build more homes and apartments in Moosomin. Check below for details on the town's initiatives as well as some frequently asked questions. For more information on the program, contact Casey McCormac at moosominedo@sasktel.net.
Housing Incentive Program
-
$30,000 for the first new unit, plus $8,000 per additional unit for multi-unit housing on the same property. "On the same property" is to be determined by the tax assessment (if the building/buildings all share the same address and tax assessment they are "on the same property". If multiple buildings are present and they sit on independent subdivided lots with independent addresses and tax assessments, they are not on the same property).
-
This includes single family homes, new RTMs, new modular homes, new mobile homes, tiny homes, apartments, condos, and townhomes. Garage suites, basement suites, and backyard suites qualify for the $8,000 additional unit incentive.
NOTE: All of the above must first obtain a "Development Permit" and a "Building Permit" from the Municipal Office.
What is required for a basement suite to qualify under this program?
-
In order for a basement suite to qualify, it must be a legal basement suite and a permit will need to be obtained from the Town of Moosomin Office.
-
Legal basement suites qualify for an $8,000 grant from the Town of Moosomin.
-

Residential Housing Incentives - Rocanville
To encourage new residential development, the Town of Rocanville offers a tax incentive program for newly built or moved-in homes. This applies to both municipal and school property taxes and includes new builds, ready-to-move homes, and—subject to Council approval—used homes relocated into Rocanville. Renovations or additions to existing homes, such as garages or decks, are not eligible. Eligible homeowners can receive the following tax abatements:
-
Year 1: 100% abatement (the year construction begins)
-
Years 2 & 3: 50% abatement
-
Years 4 & 5: 25% abatement
The incentive applies only to the annual property tax levy (excluding local improvements). It won’t be applied to the tax roll until all non-eligible taxes are paid. If taxes aren't paid by December 31, the incentive for that year will be lost. Owners must apply in writing before construction begins, and the incentive remains valid whether or not the property is occupied. If the property is sold during the program period, the concession may transfer to the new owner.
This program is designed to make building or relocating your home in Rocanville more affordable and appealing.
