Purpose
The purpose and intent of Great Homes is to empower Sugar Land's residents and communities to participate with the City in preserving, protecting, and enhancing Sugar Land's single-family housing and neighborhood areas.
Programs
Under Great Homes, the City offers incentive programs for homeowners with a property located in the city limits:
The Great Homes Update Program is a reimbursement incentive program to encourage the rehabilitation and refurbishment of the exterior of a single-family residential property. (Applications are currently closed. Applications will re-open on January 1, 2026 pending budget approval.)
The Great Homes Design Program provides Sugar Land homeowners and homeowner associations (HOAs) with a creative, re-envisioned exterior home design at a Sugar Land-exclusive cost. Home design recipients can submit their home design in the Update Program to receive an additional 2% reimbursement incentive.
