Yes. In addition to a competitively low financing interest rate, a 5% rebate will be applied to all completed CEIP projects in Strathcona County during the first four years of the program. Rebates will be applied directly to the amount owing on the property tax roll. The deeper the retrofits, the greater the rebate! 

Yes. All clean energy and home retrofit incentives and rebates from other programs, such as the federal Greener Homes Grant and Loan, are stackable with CEIP. 

• Must be a CEIP Qualified Contractor registered with Alberta Municipalities. 

• Strathcona County does not require business licenses; however, some CEIP installations, such as solar systems, require building permits.  

• All applicable permits must be in place prior to payment being issued for CEIP upgrades at project completion. 

There are two considerations that affect the annual CEIP Tax on a participating property.

1. The annual CEIP Tax repayment for a participating property cannot exceed the annual property tax amount (Municipal and Education portions only) for the year in which the CEIP Project is initiated.
2. The Effective Useful Life (EUL) of an upgrade will determine the duration of the financing term that is used to calculate the total annual CEIP Tax. The financing term cannot exceed the EUL.
