Annual Compliance Reporting

Annual Compliance Reporting for TC Properties

Federal law requires state allocating agencies to monitor compliance with provisions of Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 42). In addition, federal law requires allocating agencies to provide a procedure the agency will follow in monitoring for non-compliance and to inform tax credit recipients (owners) of procedures and requirements. For complete Housing Credit compliance guidance, refer to the Housing Credit Compliance Manual.

A simplified annual compliance reporting checklist and basic submission instructions is included below.

The Annual Owner’s Certification of Continuing Compliance and Tenant Income Certifications forms are available in Certification Portal (CP). CP is a web-based database input system that allows for comprehensive compliance information submission, monitoring and reporting for properties that are required to comply with Housing Credit and Multifamily Loan guidelines. Please contact the compliance staff to obtain login access to CP, or for other CP questions.
