If you are buying a home in the City and County of Denver in the near future, you will be eligible for a federal income tax credit.
For the life of the loan, 20% of the interest on your mortgage loan will be returned to you in the form of a tax credit.
The Mortgage Credit Certificate Program is anticipated to last through December 31, 2011, but if the $25,000,000 available is used before then, the program will cease.
Available to first time buyers (defined as persons who have not owned real estate for 3 years), the program also has income limits and purchase price limits. Non-first time buyers are eligible for the program if they purchase within one of several targeted areas in Denver.
For families of 1-2 persons, maximum income limits are $88,600 if the home is in a non-targeted area, and $91,200 for a home purchased in a targeted area.
For families with 3 or more persons, the income limits are $101,900 and $106,400.
Homes in non-targeted areas must have a maximum price tag of $354,900.
Homes in targeted areas can cost up to $433,800.
This program requires that the buyer attend a class and receive a certificate once completed the course.
Qualifying for this program does not preclude your eligibilty for the $8,000 federal tax credit that is currently available through November 30, 2009.
