How do I apply?

Only the first 1,500 applicants that meet the preliminary requirements will receive a final application package.

There are two stages to the application process:

  • The first application stage makes sure that you have the basic documentation, within the right time lines, to be considered. This does NOT guarantee that you will receive the rebate. Preliminary Form Applications must be received at head office before April 1, 2010.
  • Only projects that have met the criteria of the first application stage will be sent a final application package. The final application stage makes sure that you have met all program requirements. If you have all the documents you require, and your home is completed by the March 31, 2010 deadline, then you will receive the rebate.
  • Each application stage requires supporting documents, depending on the type of new home construction.

Preliminary Form Applications can be picked up at any Access Centre across Nova Scotia or call: 424-5200 or 1-800-670-4357 toll free in Nova Scotia

Applications must clearly indicate how the home is being built and include the required supporting documents to verify that the applicant is either building a new home or having a new home built.
