GSCIP Tax Increment Equivalent Grant (TIEG) Programs

by City of Greater Sudbury

Also known as: Greater Sudbury TIEG · Standard/Affordable Housing/Brownfields/Superstack/Corridors/Parking Structure TIEG

Greater Sudbury's GSCIP TIEG rebates the municipal tax increase your development creates, as an annual grant. Six variants exist: Standard, Affordable Housing, Brownfields, Superstack, Corridors, and Parking Structure (Downtown). The affordable-housing/brownfield schedule is reported as five years (100% of the increment years 1-3, 50% years 4-5), confirm the exact schedule for your variant with Planning Services (cip@greatersudbury.ca) before budgeting.

Amount
Annual grants equivalent to the incremental increase in the municipal property tax resulting from property improvements. Six variants: Standard (Schedule A), Affordable Housing (Schedule B), Brownfields (Schedule B), Superstack (combines Standard/Brownfield/Affordable Housing), Corridors (residential in Schedule C), Parking Structure (Downtown Sudbury). Grant schedule (percentage per year, number of years) is set per variant in the plan, reported as 5 years at 100% (years 1-3) then 50% (years 4-5) for the affordable housing and brownfield variants, unconfirmed against the by-law schedule.

Stacking

Common questions

How is the TIEG amount calculated?

From the tax increment: post-project assessed value times the municipal tax rate, minus pre-project taxes. The application form walks through this calculation, and grants are paid annually against the increment.

Which TIEG variant applies to my project?

Standard for development in Schedule A areas; Affordable Housing and Brownfields for Schedule B proposals; Corridors for residential in Schedule C; Superstack combines eligible variants; Parking Structure applies to a Downtown Sudbury parking structure (evaluated in two phases).

Does the 2025 GSCIP replace the old Sudbury CIPs?

Yes, the GSCIP (adopted 2025) consolidates the former Strategic Core Areas, Affordable Housing, and Brownfield CIPs into one city-wide plan with expanded eligibility.

Can I reapply for a TIEG on the same property?

Not within five years of the last grant payment for that program and property, the rule is retroactive and counts any CIP in effect within the five-year period.
