The Authority has created the following programs for eligible applicants who are interested in single-family dwelling units. Please contact the lenders listed below for information and eligibility, including the outstanding and available amount of mortgage monies in any program.
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program
Overview: The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Pima (the "Authority") offers its Mortgage Credit Certificate Programs ("MCC") which provide assistance to those persons who meet certain income requirements to finance their home purchase (generally, this is limited to a first time home purchase, unless the home is in a Targeted Area). Participants in the MCC Program are given tax credits that reduce their federal tax liability. MCC's cannot be used in conjunction with any mortgage revenue bond programs or with any veteran bond loans.
Program Area. The Program Area for the Authority's current MCC Programs is all of Pima County, excluding the City of Tucson.
Eligible Properties. The types of properties eligible include new or previously occupied single-family homes including detached homes, manufactured housing, condominiums, duplexes or townhouses.
Applicant Requirements. Applicants for the MCC Program must meet certain requirements including:
- Applicant must be a first-time homebuyer if the MCC is being used to finance the purchase of a home. This requirement does not apply to a qualified home improvement or qualified rehabilitation loan;
- Ownership of a home three years prior to an application for an MCC will disqualify the applicant as a first-time homebuyer;
- Applicant must intend to occupy the property being purchased.
There are certain purchase price limits and income limits which must be met as well. As of May 1, 2007 those limits are as follows:
| Income Limits | Maxium Family Income | | Non-Targeted Areas: | | Families of 2 or fewer persons | $59,285 | | Families of 3 or fewer persons | $68,177 | | Targeted Areas: | | Families of 2 or fewer persons | $65,880 | | Families of 3 or fewer persons | $76,860 |
| Purchase Price Limits | One Unit | Two Unit | | Non-Targeted Areas: | $284,032 | $319,914 | | Targeted Areas: | $347,151 | $391,006 |
Targeted Areas.Whether or not your potential home purchase is in a Targeted Area can be determined by FHR, as noted below. Current Programs.The Authority currently has one open MCC Program which will expire December 31, 2008. The Authority's 2007 MCC Program will begin October 31, 2007 and will expire December 31, 2009. Both MCC Programs offer a 20% tax credit.
