Placed in Service Package and Form 8609 Request
When an awarded project has completed construction or rehabilitation and prior to the issuance of a low income housing tax credit form (Form 8609), a placed in service package must be submitted, reviewed, and approved. This webpage contains information and directions for completing the placed in service items required by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC). Follow the placed in service checklist carefully, remembering that many of the documents require executed signatures. When completed, send the package to TCAC by mail (no email please) in USB/flash drive format. Please direct questions to Jyotika Devi, Elaine Johnson, Alex Ninh, Shia Lor, Gerardo Rodriguez, or Linda Doan.
