Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions founders most often ask about Brampton Major Office Development Charge E...
Free
What is the minimum office size to qualify?
20,000 sq ft for the DC exemption and 25,000 sq ft for the TIEG. Projects between 20,000–25,000 sq ft can access the DC exemption but not the TIEG.
Does Brampton's TIEG stack with the Region of Peel's incentive?
Yes — the Region of Peel mirrors the City's TIEG at 100% declining 7%/year for 10 years, effectively doubling the tax-increment return. Apply to both in parallel through Invest Brampton.
Which sectors qualify?
Advanced Manufacturing, Food & Beverage Processing, Innovation & Technology, Health & Life Sciences, and Professional Services. Residential, retail, and pure industrial uses do not qualify for this stream.
Is there a separate program for industrial expansions?
Yes — the Brampton Industrial Expansion DC Exemption covers existing industrial facilities expanding by 50% or less of their gross floor area. That is a separate program from this office incentive.
