Hamilton runs the most generous heritage grant program in Ontario. Owners of properties designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act can apply for up to $150,000 toward conservation work — more than ten times what most Ontario municipalities offer.
A separate stream provides up to $20,000 for heritage studies. That matters if your project needs a conservation plan or a building condition report before work can begin.
Your property must be designated, not merely listed on the municipal register. These are different things, and only designation qualifies.
A useful quirk: Hamilton publishes its grant recipients as open data. If you want to see what kinds of projects actually get funded before you apply, that record is public.
