If you'd like to make a direct payment or discuss payment options, please contact our servicing partner DTA.

Why does my assessment appear on my property tax bill?

plus

PACE financing is structured as a voluntary special assessment on your property, which is why it appears as a line item on your annual property tax bill. This is how all PACE programs work— it is not an additional tax, but rather the repayment mechanism for the improvement financing you received. Your county tax collector collects the payment along with your property taxes and remits it to the program.

Document Requests

How do I get a copy of my Financing Agreement?

plus

You can request a copy of your executed Financing Agreement by contacting FortiFi. Documents are typically provided within 5 business days.
