There are two incentives we can help you access for your multi-unit housing development project. A 10 year tax exemption is accessible through the City of Quesnel and the Northern Housing Incentive grant program from Northern Development Initiative Trust.
10 Year Tax Exemption
The Multi-unit Housing Incentive Program was created to encourage the development of multi-unit buildings, providing more rental options for Quesnel residents. The incentive program helps to make new developments financially viable.
The program is intended to provide a 10 year tax exemption incentive for the development of multi-unit housing that improve accessibility as well as meet set design and livability standards. Additionally, development cost charges may also be waived for providing non-profit housing units and for developments that are low environmental impact, if they first meet the tax exemption incentives.
Eligibility Requirements
In order to be eligible, projects must include 3 or more attached units and must meet the requirements listed in the Multi-unit Housing Incentives Fact Sheet below.
