Application Review Process

All applications are reviewed monthly by the CIC Property Review Committee. To be included in a monthly review, your application must be received no later than the 1^st of the month. You will receive a response once your application has been reviewed and should have a decision regarding its approval or denial within 30-45 days. Once the application has been reviewed, the next steps are:

SINGLE-FAMILY HOME DEVELOPMENT:

If your application is approved, you will receive a contract for the purchase and redevelopment of the property and a target closing date. Terms regarding price and development time frames will be included in this contract. If you want to schedule a time to view the interior of a property, this will take place after application approval, but before the closing of the property.

MULTI-UNIT, MULTI-PROPERTY, AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT:

If your application is accepted, you will be contacted to schedule a date for a live pitch of your development project to the CIC Property Review Committee.

POST-CLOSING PROCEDURES

All purchasers are required to keep the St. Bernard CIC up-to-date on the progress of any improvements ore development. Upon request, the purchasers may be required to give a narrative updates and provide photos of any progress. Upon completion of the development, the purchaser must provide notice to the CIC and provide photos.

Please note: Filling out an application does not obligate you to purchase the property, nor does it entitle you to purchase the property.
