SETH Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program

Sponsored by:

Southeast Texas Housing Finance Corporation

The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program provides eligible homebuyers up to $2,000 each year in additional federal income tax credits. As a holder of the MCC, you will receive this credit each year as you pay off your mortgage loan.

Here is an example of one year of savings with the MCC Program:

Loan Amount $125,000
Interest Rate 4%
The buyer will have paid approximately $5,000 in interest that year.
$5,000 X 40% MCC rate = $2,000 tax credit
Tax credit provided by the MCC Program 40%
MCC savings for the homeowner $2,000

Actual savings experienced by a homeowner will depend upon the mortgage interest they pay on the home loan.

Are You Eligible?

Buyers must be a first-time homebuyer (not have owned a home in the past 3 years), except in census tract numbers – City of Baytown 2534, City of Pasadena 3220, 3230, 3231, 3235, 3239 and Walker County 7906 and 7907. (Targeted census track numbers have higher income and purchase price limits) Contact: p.constance@sethfc.com
