Application Process

  1. Schedule an appointment with Ali Avery, Long Range Planner, to submit and review a complete application to the City. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
  2. The Long Range Planner will then review the application for eligibility. The applicant will be notified within two weeks of submitting the application whether their application has been approved or denied.
  3. Once the applicant has been notified of program acceptance, the Long Range Planner will schedule a property inspection with the applicant.
  4. The inspection of the property will be conducted by a City Building Inspector and the Long Range Planner to determine repairs and be able to select a contractor to complete the work.
  5. A City-approved contractor will be sent to create bids for the work and potentially complete the repairs.
  6. Upon completion of the work, the Building Inspector, Long Range Planner, and homeowner will complete a final inspection of the property.
  7. The contractor will submit an invoice for the work to the City of North Salt Lake. Payments will be made to the Contractor within 30 days after signed final inspection.
  8. The grant must be repaid back to the City in the full amount if the applicant sells, changes title, or movies within one (1) year from completion of work. A lien will be placed on the applicant's property for the cost of the repairs for a period of one (1) year. If the applicant has occupied the home for the entirety of that year, the lien will be released at that time.
