Housing Credit Compliance

The Compliance & Asset Management Division is responsible for conducting annual reviews of properties awarded housing credits as well as tri-annual on-site reviews of the property. Owners are required to maintain compliance with federal and state program requirements for at least 30 years. To determine compliance owners submit annual self-certifications of tenant information via THDA’s internet-based reporting system, Tennessee Housing Online Monitoring and Application System (THOMAS). The Division reviews information submitted to determine compliance. All noncompliance is reported to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on Form 8823: Low-Income Housing Credit Agencies Report of Noncompliance or Building Disposition. Noncompliance is cured using the methodology described in the 8823 Guidebook issued by the IRS.
