MFTE Compliance (Washington)
Operator-grade compliance support
MFTE compliance
A city-administered property tax exemption in Washington.
Washington's Multifamily Tax Exemption program provides a property tax exemption to multifamily developments in participating cities in exchange for setting aside a portion of units for income- and rent-restricted households. Program specifics, including affordability tiers, term length, income and rent limits, and reporting formats, are set by the city administering the program under state statute.
Owners commonly layer MFTE with LIHTC, HOME, or local funding, which means income limits, rent limits, and file documentation need to reconcile across programs.
