Toronto Basement Flooding Rebate Guide

Current programme amount

The City currently states that up to $6,650 per eligible property is available for qualifying flood-protection work.

Assessment before equipment

A plumbing assessment can help identify whether a sump pump, backwater valve or other work fits the home. The City notes that an assessment may be eligible.

Keep the project file

Keep permits, final inspection records, paid itemized invoices, product details and photographs. The City makes the approval and payment decision.

General information only: Site conditions and programme rules vary. Confirm the home, permit and official programme requirements before starting work.
