Toronto Tree Root Drain Grant: In basic terms, the grant works when city-owned tree roots are blocking the sewer connection pipe between the home’s exterior foundation wall and the property line. The maximum amount refunded is usually up to $2000 per property in a lifetime, however if your household is below $35,000 you will be able to claim up to 100% of the expenses.

Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program: This program helps you to minimize the expense of installation for the flood protection devices. The devices which are eligible for this subsidy are: back-water valve, sump pump, and pipe severence and capping. The maximum amount of financial help offered by the city is 80% of the invoiced cost up to $3200.

Toilet Rebates: The city offers Toronto residents a $60 or $75 cash incentive to replace toilets with a flush volume of 13 litres or more with a city-selected, water-efficient model. Residents must live in detached houses, semis, duplexes (buildings with up to six units), individual condos and townhouses.

Home Renovation Tax Credit: This is a temporary credit that is effective until February 1st, 2010. You can claim 15% up to $1,350 in tax credits for renovations costing more than $1000 and less than $10,000. As always, to be eligible for the credit the work needs to be done by a licensed plumber. It is yet unknown what will happen to the credit after February 2010.
