Safe Room Rebate Program

How it works

Rockwall County’s Hazard Mitigation Action Plan includes an action to “implement and participate in the Safe Room Rebate Program for residential property owners in Rockwall County.” The plan describes it as a structure-and-infrastructure project intended to secure structures and reduce risk during natural disasters.

What the money covers

The plan does not spell out covered materials, exact rebate rules, or whether the rebate is paid upfront or after construction. It identifies the project as a safe room rebate program for homes.

Amounts and matching

The plan lists an estimated cost of $5,000 per unit. It does not state a homeowner rebate amount, match requirement, or cap beyond that estimate.

Timing and deadlines

The plan says implementation was expected within 12 months of plan adoption pending funding. It names HMGP or PDM grant funding as potential funding sources.

Notes for homeowners

This is a mitigation action in the county’s official hazard mitigation plan, not a detailed application page. The public plan does not provide current application instructions, open/closed status, or a live homeowner portal.
