Greece Opens Online Applications for Home Renovation Grants

Greece has launched online applications for its Home Renovation program, backed by a €500 million budget under the NSRF 2021-2027 funding plan. Applications opened on October 29 and close on January 11, 2027, according to the Ministry of National Economy and Finance. Owners apply through a dedicated online platform run by the Technical Chamber of Greece using their TAXISnet credentials.

The scheme provides grants for low- and middle-income households to renovate properties and complete moderate energy upgrades, aiming to bring vacant homes back into use as primary residences. Applications for occupied homes will open in a later phase. Grants cover 70 to 95 percent of eligible expenses, reaching up to €36,000 for renovation and energy works, plus an additional €2,500 for support services. Approximately €200 million of the program is allocated to vacant properties, with around €37.3 million estimated for the Attica region. Applicants must hold an eligibility certificate and submit an intervention plan.

What Israeli investors should check before applying for property renovation grants in Greece

If you own a vacant apartment in Athens or other regions in Greece and plan to utilize the government renovation program, preparation is key. The application process requires local TAXISnet credentials, meaning property owners must have a Greek tax number (AFM) and active tax registration. Since submissions go through the online platform of the Technical Chamber of Greece, working with local professionals such as an engineer or an accountant is highly recommended to guide you through the requirements, verify your eligibility based on household income, and manage the intervention plan properly. Because funding rules and timelines can shift, always verify the latest official instructions and deadlines before initiating any physical or energy upgrade works on your property.
