- Must actually own the housing eligible for the subsidy. However, if the housing eligible for the subsidy is jointly owned, the person shall have the right of representation based on the agreement of all co-owners.
- The owner of the subsidized housing (if the subsidized housing is shared property, all co-owners) and all residents of the subsidized housing (excluding occupants living in shared housing) are not in arrears with their city taxes.
Grant amount
We will subsidize one-half of the cost (excluding tax) required for earthquake retrofitting (up to 1 million yen).
Proxy receipt system
The proxy receipt system is a system in which the construction contractor receives the subsidy on his or her behalf.
Using this system, you can carry out seismic retrofitting by paying only the difference between the seismic retrofit cost and the subsidy to the construction company.
