Understand the savings
What could the rebate mean for you?
For qualifying new homes priced at $1 million or less, the rebate can recover all the GST, up to $50,000. The maximum rebate decreases between $1 million and $1.5 million; at $1.5 million or more, it is zero.
These examples use a home-and-land purchase from a builder. They are illustrations, not quotes for our listed homes.

A quick starting point
Could you qualify?
For a new home and land purchased from a builder, these are key conditions—not a complete eligibility assessment.
Your homeownership history fits
You cannot have lived in a home owned by you or your spouse or common-law partner as your primary residence in the transfer year or previous four calendar years, anywhere in the world.
It will be your home
The new home must be your primary residence, and you must be its first residential occupant after substantial completion.
You haven’t claimed before
Neither you nor your spouse or common-law partner can have previously received this first-time buyer rebate.
Check the dates, too
Sign the builder purchase agreement from March 20, 2025 through December 31, 2030. Construction must start before 2031; substantial completion and ownership transfer must occur before 2036.

Confirm the details
Review your eligibility with your lawyer or tax adviser. Ask for a written breakdown of the price, GST and any rebate credited under your agreement.
Arrange the application
If you and the builder agree to a rebate payment or credit, the builder files the application. Otherwise, for a house-and-land purchase, you generally apply to the https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/gst-hst-rebates/first-time-home-buyers-gst-hst-rebate within two years of ownership transfer.

Good questions
Before you start your search.
Is the rebate already included in the advertised price?
Ask us about the specific home. Confirm whether the quote includes GST and assumes any rebate before comparing prices or planning your budget.
Does every DP76 Construction property qualify?
We do not advertise guaranteed eligibility for every property or buyer. Ask your adviser to review the agreement, occupancy and intended use, especially for a home with a rental suite.
Will the builder credit my rebate at closing?
A builder credit requires agreement between you and the builder. Confirm the arrangement in your purchase documents; do not assume a closing credit. If the builder files for the same rebate, you must not file a duplicate claim.
