Loans for Energy-Efficiency Projects
Snohomish County’s Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy & Resiliency (C-PACER) program is an innovative financing mechanism to help commercial, industrial, agricultural and multi-family buildings become more efficient and resilient.
C-PACER does not use any government funds, it is a loan agreement between a private lender and the property owner, like a mortgage or home improvement loan. The unique part about C-PACER financing is that the county records the loan as a lien on the property, which means that if the property owner sells the building, the assessment stays with the building (unless the payoff is part of the sale agreement).
