Annual Owner Certification Form Posted

DCA Compliance has posted the link for the 2015 Annual Owner Certification (AOC) in the Compliance section of the DCA website.

The AOC is an online data entry form.  Only one AOC is due for each project;  owners complete either the LIHTC Layered AOC or the HOME only AOC.

In addition to the links for the AOC, an FAQ and Owner's Signature Page are also posted.
    
 
Questions about the form should be directed to compliance@dca.ga.gov.
 
The due date for submission is 3/31/2016. 
 
HOME RENT APPROVALS
As a reminder, new HUD HOME regulations require DCA to review and approve rents at ALL HOME projects annually. As of today's date, we have projects who have not submitted the form for 2015.   Non-compliance notices will be sent out beginning next week. If you haven't submitted the form, you can find the most recent version on the DCA Compliance website:  http://www.dca.ga.gov/housing/HousingDevelopment/programs/compliance.asp
