2024 RESIDENCE REVITALIZATION PROGRAM

The City of Devils Lake has partnered with Gate City Bank to offer the Residence Revitalization Program, which is designed to revitalize mature neighborhoods by helping homeowners make repairs and upgrades at a low interest rate.  

Qualifying projects range from patio additions and new garages to safety repairs like furnace replacements and accessibility adjustments.  Funds may also be used to address code and structural corrections, energy improvements and general property upgrades.

Gate City Bank has allocated $1 million for the program, which features:

  • Rates as low as 4.99% APR*
  • 10-year or 15-year options
  • $10,000 - $100,000 projects

Applications for this program will be accepted starting March 18, 2024 and must be received before October 31, 2024.

*Note: This program is available to one- and two-family residences that are owner-occupied, located within city limits, zoned residential, assessed at or below $250,000, and current on property tax, special assessment, and utility obligations.  Each project is subject to credit qualification and a home evaluation and must be completed within 12 months.  Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis as funds are available.
