Home Rehabilitation/Emergency Home Repair Program

The Home Rehabilitation/Emergency Home Repair Program (non-mobile home) awards funds to eligible homeowners living in the unincorporated areas of Leon County in need of rehabilitation to their home related to a dire situation that needs to be mitigated immediately via a short-term and/or permanent repair most typically funded by a deferred payment, forgivable, noninterest-bearing loan although grants for minimal, temporary repairs may be provided. 

Emergency home repairs include a damaged or leaking roof, damaged windows causing exposure to the elements, electrical, plumbing, or septic problems that could cause damage to the home, or to remediate an immediate health hazard to the occupants.

If you live inside City limits (Tax Code 1), please contact the City of Tallahassee for emergency repairs on non-mobile home dwellings.

Home Replacement Program 

The Home Replacement Program assists eligible homeowners living in the unincorporated areas of Leon County with the demolition of an existing home and reconstruction of a new home if the cost of rehabilitation is expected to surpass 50% of the value of the home (30% for homes 50 years or older).

Funds will be made available to individual homeowner applicants via deferred payment, forgivable, noninterest-bearing loans.
