❓ FAQ
What kind of vacant store is eligible for the vacant store renovation subsidy?
Vacant stores in commercial areas, etc. in Ota City are eligible. Both self-owned vacant stores and leased vacant stores may be eligible. Please check with the City Hall Industrial Policy Division for specific target areas and requirements.
Can I use it for any type of business after renovation?
As a general rule, the condition is that it is used as a store for commerce, service industries, etc. Conversion to a residence or to a warehouse/parking lot is not eligible for the subsidy.
Can I use it at the same time as the rent subsidy?
You may be able to use it in combination with Ota City's vacant store rent support subsidy. However, since double subsidization for the same expense is not possible, please check the requirements for each and whether they can be combined in advance.
Must the subsidy application be made before construction?
Yes, you must apply before starting construction. Applications after the start of construction will not be accepted. Also, since there is an upper limit to the budget, we recommend consulting and applying early.
