Placed In-Service Requirement

Tax Credit properties that will place-in-service in any calendar year must have a management representative attend a tax credit compliance training sometime between the first and last buildings' placed-in-service dates. Until further notice, the Commission will accept certificates of completion from other industry trainers in fulfillment to this requirement.
