Previous Action Taken
Summary Explanation/Background
Section 163.08, Florida Statutes, et seq., establishes Florida's Property Assessed Clean Energy ("PACE") program, allowing property owners to apply to PACE program administrators to finance certain qualifying improvements. Broward County adopted various consumer protections as conditions to PACE program administrators being authorized to enter into financing agreements with local property owners, including disclosure and income-based requirements. Those consumer protection standards are currently promulgated in various locations in the Broward County Administrative Code ("Administrative Code") and the Broward County Code of Ordinances ("Code").
The proposed Resolution repeals those provisions in the Administrative Code. A related proposed Ordinance, setting forth the applicable PACE requirements (including applicable ones from current Administrative Code provisions) in a single location in the Code, is scheduled to be heard by the Board at the same time as this proposed Resolution.
