An essential step to receiving your LogisVert grant: prepare your proof of ownership carefully
As part of the LogisVert Home Energy Efficiency Grant , providing the correct supporting documents is crucial for your financial assistance application to be eligible. At AirGreen, we support our clients every step of the way, including the sometimes complex process of providing proof of ownership . Here's everything you need to know to avoid delays and maximize your chances of receiving your refund quickly.
Why is proof of ownership essential?
The purpose of the proof of ownership is to confirm that the financial assistance is being paid to the right person: the owner of the eligible home . This step guarantees the integrity of the LogisVert program and allows Hydro-Québec to meet its legal obligations, particularly with regard to the production of the Relevé 27 – Paiements du gouvernement (RL-27) tax slip.
What documents are accepted as proof of ownership?
According to the LogisVert Program Participant's Guide , here are the official documents accepted to prove that you are the owner of the home where the energy efficiency measures were carried out:
1. Municipal tax invoice (electronic copy)
This document is the most commonly used. It must include:
-
The owner's full name (same as on installation invoices).
-
The address of the accommodation where the eligible work was carried out.
-
Current or previous year (must be valid).
2. Cover page of the deed of sale (electronic copy)
If the tax invoice is not available or the property has just been acquired, you can provide the first page of the notarized deed of sale . It must state:
-
The name of the buyer (owner) .
-
The full address of the property.
-
The date of the transaction .
3. For members of an indigenous community
It is possible to provide one of the following two options :
-
A copy of the electricity bill in the name of the person submitting the request;
-
A letter signed by a band council representative confirming ownership of the home.
🔎 AirGreen Tip : Make sure the name on the proof of ownership matches exactly the name on the purchase and installation invoices sent to Hydro-Québec.
What errors can lead to a refusal or delay?
We have observed several cases where requests have been delayed or denied , including when:
-
The customer's name is not identical on the installation invoice and the ownership document.
-
The document is illegible , incomplete or does not include the address of the accommodation.
-
The property is a co-ownership , but the invoice is in the name of another person (in these cases, the situation must be clarified or the documents adjusted).
-
The property was recently purchased and the client provides an old tax bill in the name of the previous owner .
When should these documents be submitted?
Your application for financial assistance must be submitted within 9 months of the completion of eligible work. Proof of ownership must be submitted when completing your online application on the LogisVert portal: www.logisvert.ca
🕓 Processing time : Approximately 10 to 12 weeks , from receipt of a complete application including all required supporting documents.
Concrete examples at AirGreen
Montreal – Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
A customer had a Gree Extreme 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump installed, which was eligible for the LogisVert grant. The invoice was fully compliant, but the application was delayed by 3 weeks because the customer had provided an old tax invoice in the name of the previous seller . After our team intervened, he submitted the first page of his bill of sale , which unblocked the file.
Laval – Duvernay
For a Goodman central air conditioner installation project, our client had her bill of sale , but the installation invoice was in her spouse's name. We guided her to have the invoice reissued in her name, thus ensuring full acceptance of her request by Hydro-Québec.
In summary: Checklist for your proof of ownership
✔️ The document is in digital format (PDF, readable photo, scan).
✔️ The owner's full name is clearly indicated.
✔️ The address of the accommodation corresponds to the address where the work was carried out.
