Saskatchewan Financial Assistance
Saskatchewan Homeowners
Home repairs and renovations - Saskatchewan has many programs to assist homeowners, including landlords.
Saskatchewan Secondary Suite Incentive (SSI) Grant Program
Eligible homeowners will receive up to 35% of the cost of renovations, up to a maximum of $35,000, to help them create a new secondary suite on their property to be rented out for below market value for at least the first 5 years. This program began in April 2024.
A qualifying suite must meet the requirements of a secondary suite according to the National Building Code of Canada and any other applicable national, provincial and municipal bylaws, codes and standards. The homeowner or builder must have received all required permitting and legal approvals necessary for the unit to be used as a rental property; however, the program eligibility criteria will not require verification that the suite has been rented before the grant is paid.
See Technical Interpretation 2024-1003781E5 Saskatchewan Secondary Suite Incentive Program, as to whether the grant received would be taxable to the homeowner.
Tax Tip: A separate suite in your house, or a laneway house on your property, may not qualify for the principal residence exemption.
