My goal this morning is to find out how buyers who qualify for the federal tax credit can apply for the upfront down payment money from their County.
I have placed calls to the county offices of Orange, Volusia and Osceola. Of the 3 offices I was able to speak to a nice young lady at the West Volusia Housing Activity Department. She did have any information so she kindly placed me in the voice mail of someone who hopefully does. I left a message with the Orange County Housing & Community Development Division. I tried several times to leave a message with the Osceola Housing Department but their phone system did not allow me to do so.
All 3 counties have down payment assistance programs in place so it is very possible that the federal tax credit program will be handled by the existing county programs. As soon as I hear back from the county representatives or can make contact I will be sure to write another post explaining the process.
