A BYLAW TO ESTABLISH A REDEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Purpose:
The purpose of this Bylaw is to encourage the renewal and revitalization of residential areas within the Town of Stoughton by
offering a one-time tax incentive for the redevelopment of privately-owned residential lots.
Council of the Town of Stoughton, in the Province of Saskatchewan, enacts as follows:
1.
Redevelopment Incentive Eligibility
A one-time tax concession may be granted for the construction of a new residential dwelling on a privately-owned lot,
provided that all of the following criteria are met:
a) The project includes the complete demolition and removal of an existing primary residential dwelling;
b) The new residential home is constructed on the same legal parcel of land; and
c) All necessary permits, including demolition and building permits, are applied for and approved by the Town prior to
the commencement of any work.
2.
Application Requirements
To be eligible for the incentive, the applicant must comply with the following requirements:
a) A written application must be submitted to Town Council prior to the demolition of any structure. The application
must include:
o
A detailed description of the existing dwelling;
o

b) the expiration of the two-year construction window.
If the redevelopment is completed within the specified timeframe and all inspection and permit conditions are

trailers, mobile homes, or any other accessory or temporary buildings.
