Housing Tax Credit Program Amendment (26-1163A)
Showing all 4 actions. Filter by: , , , .
Document reliance on Dallas housing tax exemption terms
Why now: The March 31, 2026 briefing proposed amendments to the Dallas Public Facility Corporation program statement, which governs the Chapter 303 tax exemption terms.
What to do: If a client's deal relies on the Dallas Public Facility Corporation's property tax exemption under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 303, create a dated written record now of exactly which catalog terms the deal was structured around. Without that record, contesting retroactive application of revised eligibility or affordability requirements becomes much harder once the catalog is formally adopted.
Act before: After the revised catalog is formally adopted
Compare housing tax credit catalog draft to active Dallas deals
Why now: The March 31, 2026 Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee briefing proposed changes to three program statements at once, with no vote scheduled since.
What to do: Pull the March 31 committee briefing materials and check whether any deal in your pipeline is underwritten on current Housing Tax Credit Program, Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, or Dallas Public Facility Corporation terms — those terms may not survive the revised catalog. No vote has been scheduled in the three months since the briefing, so this could land on the agenda with little notice.
Act before: After committee schedules a vote on the catalog amendments
Request Dallas housing catalog briefing behind three rewrites
Why now: One committee briefing on March 31, 2026 covered proposed amendments to three separate housing finance program statements at the same time.
What to do: File a public records request for the staff briefing document from the March 31 Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee meeting, then ask housing staff what project or transaction prompted simultaneous rewrites to the Housing Tax Credit Program, Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, and Dallas Public Facility Corporation statements. If one deal is shaping catalog language across all three programs, that's a story about who controls Dallas housing finance policy.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Meet Dallas housing committee before tax credit catalog vote
Why now: Nearly three months have passed since the March 31, 2026 briefing with no vote yet scheduled, leaving the draft language still open.
What to do: Request meetings now with Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee members to shape draft language for the Housing Tax Credit Program, Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, and Dallas Public Facility Corporation statements before a vote appears on the agenda. Once scheduled, staff language typically becomes the floor and the window for revision closes.
Act before: After a vote is scheduled on the catalog amendments
