Save Big on Your Laneway Home: Ontario Offers Up to $16,080 in Rebates

Laneway homes are booming in popularity across Ontario—and for good reason. These secondary dwellings offer added space, rental income potential, and increased property value. What many homeowners don’t realize is that building a laneway home can also unlock up to $16,080 in rebates through a provincial program designed to support owner-built housing.

At Rebatemax, we specialize in helping you take full advantage of these incentives—without the confusion of government forms or fine print.


What Is the Laneway Home Rebate?

When you build a laneway home as an owner (not through a builder), you may qualify for a rebate worth 75% of the provincial portion of HST, up to $16,080. That’s money back in your pocket to help offset your construction costs.

This rebate follows the same rules that apply to other owner-built homes, making it a powerful but often overlooked tool for savvy homeowners looking to maximize their investment.


Are You Eligible?

Here’s a quick overview of who typically qualifies:

  • You're the builder (or hired contractors yourself, not a developer)

  • You or a close family member will live in the laneway suite

  • You paid HST on construction materials, labor, or services

  • The home was recently completed and you’re the first to live in it

  • You apply within two years of completion or occupancy

It may sound technical—but that’s what we’re here for.
