owner occupied or vacant, single family dwelling in an eligible area of Tacoma. Rentals occupied by tenants who will be displaced
or have recently been displaced within the past 90 days can not be considered for a DPA loan. House must be purchased at or
below the current appraised value; an appraisal within the past 60 days. Program

loans have a 30 year term at 0% interest with no payments; due at the end of 30 years or when the purchaser no longer occupies
the home as their primary residence. It takes at least 10 business days to process
a “Complete” DPA application from the time they have all the documentation. For further information on the Tacoma DPA fill out the form.
