The City of Belleville is launching two new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) incentive programs to accelerate housing construction.
The ADU in New Housing Rebate provides home buyers, who have accessory dwelling units in a newly built home, with a $5,000 rebate per unit.
The ADU in Existing Housing and Detached Accessory Buildings Rebate also provides a $5,000 rebate per unit for property owners who create accessory dwelling units on their property.
Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis to those who meet the eligibility requirements.
The programs are part of the city’s Community Improvement Plan.
Accessory dwelling units are separate, self-contained residential units that are secondary to the main dwelling and are located on the same property as the main dwelling, and may be commonly known as garden suites or second units. These units help boost the rental supply, increase supplemental income for residents and directly address housing affordability in the city.
