Heritage Property Grant

The St. Marys Designated Heritage Property Grant Program is available to owners of heritage designated properties in the Town of St. Marys. 

The program is designed to assist property owners in the conservation and preservation of the Town's built heritage resources. Eligible properties must be designated under the terms of the Ontario Heritage Act as an individual property or be located within the Heritage Conservation District.

The Heritage Property Grant Program provides a grant of up to 50% of the lowest estimate or up to 50% of the actual cost (whichever is the lesser) of eligible heritage conservation work, to a maximum municipal contribution of up to $2,500 for eligible façade painting or a maximum up to $7,500 for eligible work to architectural elements, subject to available funding. The grant must be matched by an equal contribution by the property owner, or the applicant in cases where the applicant is not the property owner. The property may receive one grant per calendar year.

Grants are awarded on a first come, first served basis each year. For a full description of eligibility criteria and information about how to apply, contact the Cultural Services Manager.
