The Florida PACE Funding Agency (Agency) is a local government authorized to offer PACE financing. PACE provides up to 100% fixed rate, non-credit based financing through its innovative Ygrene Energy Fund program. With Ygrene Energy Fund, qualifying residential and commercial property owners can make clean energy and storm safety repairs or improvements to their homes and businesses, including impact resistant windows or even a new roof with no out-of-pocket cost! The financing is then repaid through an assessment placed on the annual tax bill. PACE requires a PACE Certified Contractor to perform the work in order to provide the financing. PASCO Roofing is a PACE Certified Contractor.
What is PACE? PACE is a program originally created by Benjamin Franklin to fund firehouses. Today PACE is used as a way to help reduce or eliminate risk for homeowners and business owners looking to make their home or business more energy efficient and increase wind protection with roof replacements, wind mitigation, windows, doors, skylights, sun tunnels, solar tubes, and PV (photovoltaic) and Thermal Hot Water Solar. After applying for funding, you may use a PACE approved contractor, and have the home improvements made to your home. The project is basically financed through your property taxes, so if you move before the cost of your home improvement project is paid off, the cost is transferred to the new owners. Right now in our region Pasco and Hillsborough Counties have been approved, but many more are on their way!
