I wanted to let you know that Rural Development has made modifications to their eligibility maps in some areas.
These changes were released as part of the Farm Bill and the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2014, and were released on May 6, 2014.
In Texas, eligible rural areas for USDA housing programs have been adjusted in certain communities in the following communities, effective immediately:
· Burkburnett, Wichita County
· Eagle Pass, Maverick County
· Lakeway, Travis County
· Barrett, Harris County
· Tomball, Harris County
· Freeport, Brazoria County
· Katy, Harris County
· Orange, Orange County
· Dickinson, Galveston County
· Alvin, Brazoria County
· Garfield, Travis County
To determine whether a specific property is located within the boundaries of an eligible rural area, please go to the USDA Income and Property Eligibility Site. Under “Property Eligibility,” select “Single Family Housing,” then enter the address.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
