Financial Incentives

​The City of Brampton provides financial incentives to spur development in several key areas to support the broader developmen​t goals outli​ned in Brampton Plan.​

As part of its Housing Brampton strategy, the City of Brampton offers financial incentives to encourage affordable housing development.

Through its city wide Community Improvement Plan (CIP), launched in 2025, the Affordable Housing Capital Grant Program provides funding to both non profit and private developers building either affordable rental housing or affordable ownership units.

This program is designed to help offset development costs and improve project viability for affordable housing projects, while supporting long term affordability in the market.

To qualify:

  • Units must meet the City’s defined affordability levels and remain affordable for at least 25 years.
  • Applications must be submitted during the development process, between site plan control submission (if applicable) or building permit stage, and before an occupancy permit is issued.

Developers may continue to submit applications for future consideration, as applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Important update on funding

  • Current funding is fully allocated, so no new approvals are being issued right now.
  • The City expects new funding (through the federal Housing Accelerator Fund) by early 2027.
  • Developers can still apply now to be considered when funding becomes available.

To request an application or learn more, contact housing@brampton.ca.

PBR reductions are not combined with the Development Charge Reduction Program (DCRP). Eligible units receive the greater of the two reductions. PBR projects still require a separate application, an available allocation and an agreement registered on title.

The City of Brampton offers a Development Charge (DC) Incentive Program that completely waives 100% of the City’s DCs for eligible new office developments, including the office portion of a mixed-use project. The program waives fees to attract investments and stimulate key sectors like technology, health, and professional services.

The City of Brampton is providing significant reductions to the City’s portion of residential development charges for eligible residential projects.

  • 50 per cent reduction for eligible residential dwelling types
  • 65 per cent reduction for eligible condominium apartments in buildings of at least five storeys that are registered as a condominium at occupancy
  • Program period: March 31, 2026 to March 30, 2029

The DCRP reduces eligible City development charges. It is not a direct grant to developers. Other applicable development charges, fees and development-related costs continue to apply.

​​The Region of Peel offers a separate program that provides grants toward Regional development charges for eligible residential development. Regional DCs are not reduced by the City's DCRP.

The Peel Major Office Incentives Program is a partnership between Peel Region and the three local municipalities (Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga) to provide financial incentives to encourage major office development.

The program was established to encourage and attract the establishment of more large office developments within Peel and provide stable high-quality jobs.

Eligible major office developments can receive tax increment equivalent grants (TIEG) for a period of up to 10 years to offset increased property taxes.

The Peel Major Office Incentives Program was recently extended to receive applications until December 31, 2026.

The Tax Increment Equivalent Grant (TIEG) is aimed at attracting major office employment including complementary uses such as research and lab space. The TIEG offers a 10-year sliding grant, or rebate, to offset a portion of the property tax increase the business owner will face as part of the new office development.

To be eligible, office uses are to be within these program’s key target sectors:

  • Innovation and Technology
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Health and Life Sciences
  • Advanced Manufacturing

Projects must have a minimum eligible of square footage – 20,000 square feet (1,858 sq m). CIP applications must be received prior to issuance of a building permit. The program provides an opportunity to stack the City of Brampton’s incentives with the Region of Peel’s Major Office Incentives.

Deadline: Applications are being accepted until November 30, 2027.
