Additional PAB Resources

Frequently asked questions

BRB and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) compiled a list of frequently asked questions. It covers the Private Activity Bond (PAB) Certificate of Reservation process and the Housing Tax Credit (HTC) application requirements. It covers applications that take part in the PAB Lottery and applications submitted after the lottery.

The FAQ is a courtesy document. It does not override the rules or statute of BRB and TDHCA. If the FAQ and the rules or statute conflict, the rules and statute control.

BRB encourages applicants to learn the rules and statutory requirements, to get guidance from their bond issuer or bond counsel, and to talk to their own counsel before they proceed.

BRB may update the FAQ with new questions. Check it from time to time.
