Community Improvement Grant

How it works

The City of Harrisonville’s Community Improvement Grant reimburses a portion of construction costs for exterior improvements to existing houses. The city describes it as a reimbursement program, not an upfront grant.

What the money covers

The official city notice says eligible improvements can include:

• Roof repair or replacement
• New paint or siding
• New windows
• Foundation work
• Other exterior improvements

The same notice says interior home improvements are not allowed, and rear-yard decks and fencing are not reimbursable.

Amounts and matching

If awarded, the program reimburses 25% of the total project cost, up to a maximum of $2,500.

Permits

The city says a building permit may be required depending on the type of project. If a permit is required, permit fees are waived for grant projects.

Timing and deadlines

The city’s notice says the program is available seasonally in the spring, but it does not state a formal application deadline on the cited page.
