Custom Built Homes

Building your dream home from the ground up is a major financial undertaking. As an owner-builder in Ontario, you are entitled to a rebate of up to $24,000 for the HST paid on materials and labor. We handle the complex task of auditing your build invoices and construction dates.

Modular & Prefab

Homes

Prefabricated and modular homes are treated uniquely by the CRA. Because you are the first occupant of a custom-built structure, you are entitled to the same rebate as a stick-built home. We verify your factory contracts and site-work invoices to claim your full provincial and federal entitlement.

Garden & Granny Suites

Expanding your property with a secondary dwelling? Whether it’s for family or rental income, detached garden suites in Ontario qualify for significant HST relief. We specialize in navigating the specific 'New Residential Rental Property' criteria to ensure your ADU build is fully maximized.

Laneways & Additions

Turning a laneway into a living space or adding a major extension requires a massive investment. If your addition constitutes a 'substantial renovation' (typically 70% or more of the existing structure), you are eligible for a rebate of up to $16,080. We’ll help you track every invoice to hit that $90/sqft threshold.

Renovation Rebates

Claim up to $16,080 for eligible substantial renovations — we identify qualifying costs and compile the required invoices and documentation.

Owner-Built Rebates

Owner-built homes can receive rebates up to $30,300 when the project meets provincial owner-built criteria and documentation standards.

2-Year Retroactive

You can apply retroactively for up to two years from the date of occupancy or completion — RebateMax will check your timeline and eligibility.

No Upfront Fees

We only get paid if you receive the rebate. There are zero upfront costs — our contingency model aligns our incentives with yours.
