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 Design Program provides Sugar Land homeowners and homeowner associations (HOAs) with a creative, re-envisioned exterior home design at a Sugar Land-exclusive cost. An incentive is also available for homeowners who substantially implement part of the design received through this program.
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 to the Great Homes Update Program closed on July 17, 2023. All program funding has been committed to ongoing projects or paid out as reimbursement incentives. The Great Homes Design Program is still available for new applicants wanting to receive a discounted exterior home design.
