Plain-English rebate guidance
Toronto homeowners can get confused by subsidy rules, contractor requirements, permits, invoices, and photos. Our role is to explain the private plumbing next step and help organize documentation for the homeowner.
The City page currently describes an expanded program with up to $6,650 per property for eligible work completed on or after November 12, 2025. Check the official City page before applying because City rules control eligibility and payment.
