City of Margate {Google Maps}

The City of Margate is now accepting applications for its Property Improvement Program, a grant initiative encouraging property and business owners to restore, renovate, and enhance their properties.

The PIP program offers a 50% reimbursement grant of up to $50,000 for commercial and multi-family properties, common areas, and building exteriors owned by condominium or homeowner associations. Additionally, single-family or individually owned multi-family homesteaded properties can receive a 50% reimbursement of up to $10,000 for eligible improvements.

The Margate Community Redevelopment Agency Board has approved two million dollars for the program, $1,500,000 for eligible commercial properties, and $500,000 for eligible individually owned single-family, condominium, and multi-family properties within the MCRA boundaries.

Created to improve the visual quality and attractiveness of the Margate community while increasing property values, eligible properties include commercial buildings, multi-family properties, properties owned by condominium or homeowner associations, and homesteaded single-family or multi-family properties.

The program covers various eligible improvements, including exterior painting, lighting, landscaping, signage, driveway and parking area upgrades (excluding asphalt driveways), and impact-resistant enhancements such as windows, doors, and garage doors.

Additional eligible improvements include roof repairs or replacements visible from the public right-of-way, structural repairs, concrete restoration, electrical and plumbing work (including cast iron pipe replacement), and designer fencing made of PVC or iron.
