With passage of the HR 3221, HUD is required to gather demographic information for LIHTC properties. It is optional on tenants’ past but management must make a ‘best guess’ if not provided. Please begin using this TIC immediately.

END OF YEAR INFORMATION

  • End of Year Information is Due March 31, 2012.
  • Spectrum Status Software XML (Version 3.5.2)

    All versions up to and including 3.5.1 have an issue with entering dates in 2011 for the Building Placed in Service date and the Reporting Period (From and To) on the Property screen. If you are currently using version 3.5.1 you don’t need to download 3.5.2. It’s OK to leave the Building Placed in Service date BLANK and leave the Reporting Period set to last year. Please read the End of Year Instructions (below) for complete details especially if you’re using the XML import feature.

  • End of Year Instructions (02-16-12) (please read first)
  • Owners Certification can be found at the following link:  http://www.dhcd.state.md.us/website/programs/lihtc/compliance.aspx
