The City of Cheyenne offers Development Incentive Programs (DIP) designed to encourage high-quality projects that strengthen the vitality of our community.
Expanded in September 2023, these programs provide building permit fee reimbursements for eligible development projects including downtown reinvestment, affordable housing, and historic rehabilitation.
Eligible projects may qualify for reimbursements of up to:
- $5,000 for infill, redevelopment, or reuse of properties in the Downtown Core
- $5,000–$10,000 for income-restricted housing (80% AMI for a minimum of 15 years)
- $5,000 for rehabilitation of historic structures within designated historic districts
Projects must meet eligibility requirements, receive a building permit, and be completed within one year of permit issuance. Reimbursements are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a total program cap of $200,000, and applications are open through June 30, 2030.
