HomeMy WebLinkAboutapplication hdip - 83 main HOUSING DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM Application for Certified Housing Development Project and Qualified Substantial Rehabilitation Expenditure The Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) is designed to increase residential growth, expand diversity of housing stock, support economic development, and promote neighborhood stabilization in designated Housing Development (HD) Zones in Gateway municipalities (Municipalities) by providing incentives to rehabilitate multi-unit properties for sale or lease as market rate units. The program provides two incentives for developers: (1) a local option property tax exemption on all or part of the increased property value, the increment, resulting from improvements, and (2) a state tax credit for Qualified Substantial Rehabilitation Expenses (QRSEs). The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) may (1) approve a locally negotiated Tax Increment Exemption Agreement between the Sponsor and Municipality under M.G.L. c. 59 section 5M of not less than 10% and not more than 100% of the increment on market rate units in a Certified Housing Development (HD) Project for no less than five years and no more than 20 years, and (2) award to the Sponsor of the Certified HD Project a state Housing Development (HD) Tax Credit under M.G.L. chapter 62 section 6(q) and chapter 63 section 38BB, not to exceed 10% of the cost of QSREs of the market rate units. HD Tax Credits will only be awarded to Certified HD Projects with DHCD-approved HD Tax Increment Exemption Agreements. However, a Sponsor of a Certified HD Project may seek approval for a local property Tax Increment Exemption Agreement without also applying for a HD Tax Credit. QSREs for HD Tax Credits include hard and soft costs associated with the major redevelopment, repair and renovation of existing buildings and limited new construction (i.e., construction of upper stories, expansion of the footprints of existing structures and demolition of a portion or all of an existing structure and redevelopment of the site). QSREs exclude property acquisition and demolition, with the exception of interior demolition, and roof and wall demolition associated with adding additional stories to, or expanding the footprint of, the existing building. Please refer to the HDIP Guidelines for additional information on the HDIP and application requirements. Application for Certified Housing Development Project and Qualified Substantial Rehabilitation Expenditures Following its approval of a HD Zone designation and HD Zone Plan, DHCD will accept applications for certification of housing development projects as HD Projects and for certification of Qualified Substantial Rehabilitation Expenses (QSREs) pursuant to M.G.L. c. 40V and760 CMR 66.05. Only Certified HD Projects may participate in the HDIP and are eligible for the local HD Tax Increment Exemption and HD Tax Credit. Certification has three distinct stages - Preliminary Certification, Conditional Certification and Final Certification - and each stage requires submission of a separate application. Applications for each stage must be submitted by the Sponsor. Applications are available on-line in word format (www.mass.gov; search key word HDIP). They must be supported by independent and verifiable information and signed under the penalties of perjury by a person authorized to bind the Sponsor. An application that provides all the information required under M.G.L. c. 40V and 760 CMR 66.05 will be considered complete. DHCD may request additional information to supplement an incomplete application. DHCD may also request a meeting(s) with the Sponsor and Municipality at DHCD’s office or on-site in the Municipality to discuss a proposed housing development project and application submission.
