Understanding PACE financing

How you pay

PACE financing is repaid through your property tax bill.

If you pay through mortgage escrow: Your mortgage lender collects property taxes as part of your monthly payment. The PACE assessment will be included in that collection, and your lender pays it to the county on your behalf.

If you pay property taxes directly: You'll pay the PACE assessment when you pay your property taxes (annually, semi-annually or quarterly, depending on your county).

The key benefit: You're not adding another separate bill to manage. PACE is paid the same way you already pay property taxes.

How it’s secured

PACE financing is secured by your property. A voluntary tax assessment is placed on your property, which is why the financing is repaid through property taxes rather than a separate monthly bill. When you pay off the financing in full, the assessment is removed from your property.

Why it’s called PACE

PACE stands for Property Assessed Clean Energy. While originally designed for energy-efficient upgrades, PACE financing now covers necessary home repairs that Florida homeowners need most: roofs, windows, doors, HVAC systems, septic systems and more.
