The full application fee is due upon submission of the Full Application.  The fee must be received in NIFA's office at the time the Application is submitted.

NIFA prefers all payments to be made via ACH to avoid delays and lost payments.  If you choose not to pay by ACH, you may either drop off the payment in person at our office or send it using a trackable delivery method. 

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Due to the limited amount of NDED funding available for the 2027 LIHTC/AHTC 9% Application Round, NIFA and NDED are providing the following guidance for developments that are requesting HOME/HTF funds:

• Indicate on the application that NDED funding is being requested and the amount of the request. 
• Complete all applicable NDED Exhibits 10–18.
• Exhibit 10 and 18 require approval by NDED prior to application submittal. Please contact Mechele Grimes at Mechele.Grimes@nebraska.gov, if you have any questions.  
• Do not include NDED funding as a source on the Equity Gap tab; instead, list the alternative funding source, as outlined on page 21 of the 2026–27–28 NIFA/NDED 9% Application under Exhibit 107, item 2.

For additional questions, please reach out to the Tax Credit Allocation team and/or attend one of the sessions of Office Hours.  The Office Hours registration links and days can be found at: https://www.nifa.org/events
