Designated Heritage Property Grant Program

The St. Marys Designated Heritage Property Grant Program is available to owners of heritage designated properties in the Central Commercial District. 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. Priority is given to projects that conserve and/or restore the elements of the property that have been cited as attributes of cultural heritage value or interest in the statements of designation.

Applications for the program are accepted on a first come, first served basis each year.

 

Note: Projects that are eligible for the Designated Heritage Property Grant Program may require a Heritage Permit and/or a Building Permit.
