Ontario’s Expanded HST Rebate on New Homes: What You Need to Know

The Ontario government has announced an expanded HST rebate program aimed at reducing the cost of new housing across the province. For homeowners, builders, and developers planning upcoming projects, this temporary rebate program may create new opportunities to reduce overall project costs.

At North Shore LTD, we work closely with homeowners and builders across Collingwood and surrounding areas, and we’re seeing increased interest in how this program may impact new builds and substantial renovation projects.

What This Means for Upcoming Projects

This expanded rebate program may apply to certain newly built homes as well as some substantial renovations. The program is designed to support housing growth across Ontario and may provide meaningful cost savings depending on eligibility and project details.

Because program requirements and eligibility can vary, it is important to review the official Ontario government announcement for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

This program is temporary. Purchase agreements must be signed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027 to qualify.
