Residents of multi-apartment buildings that are cultural heritage or are located in cultural-historical units could soon receive two-thirds of non-repayable funds for facade restoration. This is anticipated by the Facade Management Program of the Ministry of Spatial Planning, which is currently in public consultation.
The co-financing model is straightforward: the cost is divided into three equal parts – the state, the city/municipality (JLS), and the community of co-owners. The total state and local support can amount to up to 300 thousand euros per building. A price ceiling per square meter of facade is also introduced: 300 euros per square meter for individually protected buildings and 250 euros for buildings in the protection zone.
What is co-financed? The arrangement of street facades and other facades visible from public areas, part of roofing works (up to the level of the load-bearing structure), restoration/replacement of joinery under conservation conditions, works on public areas necessary for scaffolding setup, restoration of courtyard facades, and thermal insulation where needed.
The application is submitted by the community of co-owners along with the main project, conservation notice/consent from the competent office, cost estimates/offers, decision of the co-owners (absolute majority), and proof of secured own third.
