The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program enables first-time homebuyers to receive a federal income tax credit of 15% of the annual mortgage interest paid.
MCC’s reduce federal income tax, increase take-home pay, and increase the qualifying loan amount for homebuyers.
Program assistance is available only to income-eligible persons and families who have not owned a home in the last three years.
The property must be a single-family detached home, condominium, or townhouse located within the County of Orange.
Participants must occupy the home.
