City of Miami Page 2 of 2 File Id. 15-01636 (Kersion: 2) Printed Oaa: 4/7/2016 ADDENDUM NOTICE OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE CLEAN ENERGY CORRIDOR PACE DISTRICT • The Green Corridor District (the "District") does not guarantee that the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program (the "Program") is your best financing option. The City of Miami is not responsible for any legal issues that may arise as a result of this financing option. • The special assessment will appear on your tax bill and is meant to remain with the property until it is fully paid, even if the property is sold. • In accordance with Florida law, the lien securing the obligation to pay the special assessments will be senior to all private liens, including existing mortgage(s). Many mortgage and loan documents limit the ability of a Property Owner to place senior liens on property without consent of the lender, or authorize the lender to obligate borrowers to prepay the senior obligation. Property owners are required to notify their lenders prior to submitting a Program funding request and to provide the District with a copy of the notification letter and proof of mailing. • The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has issued policy guidelines that question the validity of PACE assessments; however, Florida law only requires the Property Owner to NOTIFY their mortgage holder of their intent to participate in the PACE program. The FHFA appears to have instructed Government -Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs such as; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) not to purchase home loans when there is a senior lien such as a PACE special assessment. Therefore, in order to refinance your home loan, or for a prospective purchaser of your property to obtain a loan secured by the property, the special assessment may need to be paid off.
