Is PACE a loan?
PACE is not a loan. PACE financing provides upfront money for energy efficient improvements that is repaid over time (with a low interest rate). PACE financing uses the property as collateral; a first priority lien will be placed on the property, ahead of other liens including mortgages. The financing is repaid over the financing term through your property taxes making it a property assessment instead of a loan.
Is PACE a government incentive or discount program?
No. PACE programs are made possible by state legislation and approved by local governments. However, PACE financing is not a government incentive or subsidy program. PACE does not provide any special discounts, government funding, or payment forgiveness to those who opt to use it.
What determines my eligibility for PACE?
PACE eligibility is based on a variety of factors, primarily the amount of equity you have in your home and your mortgage payment history.
