AI Joins Industry Opposition to PACE Loan Changes

August 26, 2016 by Appraisal Institute Staff

ai-blog-presidents-header-2016

As we near the end of summer, I hope your business has been good, but that you have had some time for some fun. I also want to express my concerns on behalf of AI for those who have been affected by weather, wildfire or other issues.

I’m proud to report that the Appraisal Institute has further expanded its role as the real estate valuation profession’s thought leader through the release of a new Guide Note.

AI Board of Directors Adopts New Guide Note

The Appraisal Institute Board of Directors, at its July 28-29 meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, adopted the Guide Note “Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions.” A draft of the Guide Note previously had been shared with AI professionals for comment.

The Board also approved the lone 45-Day Notice item, which permits Practicing Affiliates to serve on certain chapter committees when eligible.

Read about other action the Board took at its meeting.

AI Joins Industry Opposition to PACE Loan Changes

Citing “a host of serious consumer protection concerns,” the Appraisal Institute joined 10 trade associations August 16 to oppose recent changes to the federal government’s Property Assessed Clean Energy loans, known as PACE loans.

The Appraisal Institute and the other groups expressed concern over recent actions taken by the Department of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of the Federal Housing Administration, as well as by the Department of Veterans Affairs. PACE loans allow local governments to provide financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy and water efficiency projects that building owners pay back through property tax assessments, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures website.

AI also will exhibit at this conference.
