Recapture Tax

Recapture Tax applies in some cases when a home financed with MRB funds is sold. For Recapture Tax to apply, you must meet all of the following conditions:

1) Sell the home within nine years.

2) Make a net profit on your home, after adjusting the value of the home for any improvements or repairs you have made, and after deducting all costs of sale, including sales commission, and

3) Your household income must have increased at least 5% each year (on average). Fear of paying Recapture Tax is not a viable reason for not utilizing the First Place program. If you refinance your home at a later date to obtain a better interest rate, or access the equity you have in your home, Recapture Tax is not triggered.

See Section 5 of the Program Manual for detailed information concerning the Recapture Tax
