The Weyburn Builds Program allows owners of new home builds, or RTMS moved in, to apply for a reduction of 75 per cent in property taxes for up to three years. The program also offers a grant amount of $50 per thousand dollars on approved construction value of major exterior renovations or additions to existing homes (minimum value of $5,000).
At its April 26 meeting, council voted 7-0 in favour of the following changes to the program to expand the eligibility and increase local revitalization: • Expand the list of applicable new construction builds from just single family dwellings to include duplex dwelling units as well as semi-detached dwelling units.
