Okayama City: Existing Building Barrier-Free Modification Project Subsidy (FY2026)

This is a Okayama City subsidy program to promote barrier-free renovations of existing buildings, creating safe and comfortable environments for all users including the elderly and people with disabilities. Owners of existing buildings in Okayama City (individuals, businesses, and corporations) are eligible to apply. The program subsidizes a portion of barrier-free renovation costs (removal of steps, installation of handrails, elevators, etc.), typically covering 50-75% of construction expenses with upper limits varying by building size and use. Applications must be submitted before renovation work begins, and city approval is required. Early consultation and application preparation are recommended due to limited budgets in fiscal year 2026.
