Councillor Dasko is happy to share another update, as promised.
Both rebates provide financial support to Mississauga residents who install water-resistant materials or other flood prevention measures within their home or on their property.
February 12, 2025
Today, the City launched two flood prevention rebates to help residents offset the cost of installing measures to limit flooding in and around their homes. These two programs offer up to a total of $10,500 in financial support for eligible Mississauga homeowners.
City rebate programs
The City has launched two rebate programs to help offset the cost of upgrades for Mississauga homeowners.
- Flood Resilience Rebate: is a City rebate program created to help those who had flood damage and installed eligible water resilient materials and other measures to make their homes more resistant to future flooding. The rebate pays for up to 50 per cent of the cost of these materials, labour and tax, up to a maximum of $3,000.
- Basement Flooding Prevention Rebate: is a City rebate program created to replace the Foundation Drain Collector Sump Pump Subsidy. This new city-wide rebate program offers up to $7,500 to pay for eligible basement flood prevention measures, such as a sump pump or downspout disconnection.
Apply for the Flood Resilience Rebate
To be eligible, you must be a registered owner of a detached home, semi-detached home, duplex or townhouse within Mississauga. To provide proof of ownership, you must provide a copy of your City tax bill. The name on the application must match the registered owner listed on the tax bill. You must have experienced flood damage on or after the July 8, 2013, storm event. Only one registered owner per residential address is eligible to receive a rebate.
Residents must complete a rebate application and submit it with a copy of their City tax bill and proof of eligibility, including:
