Home Improvement Grant Program

The intent of the Home Improvement Grant Program is to pay a portion of project costs to Andover property owners who will make certain exterior improvements to the front (side street) of their home, increasing its curb appeal, which benefits the entire community. Property values less than $293,000 estimated property value based on Anoka County 2022 Assessment Year, Payable taxes in 2023 will be used to determine if a property qualifies. There are no income limits to participate in the program, however there are eligibility requirements. Applications will be accepted until funds are no longer available. Grant recipients will be awarded on a first come first serve basis.

Grant amounts awarded will between $500 - $5,000. Homeowners must pay at least $1,500 (75% of project costs) of their own funds to be eligible to receive the minimum grant amount of $500 from the City. Grant dollars do not need to be repaid. Grants will equal 25% of the applicant's individual project amounts depending upon the scope of work. If the scope of work includes qualifying projects from both categories, then the grant amount will be determined individually in each category. The combined project amount must be $2,000 or more to be eligible. Cost of tools will not be eligible for grant dollars.
