Source: California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) 2026 Income & Rent Limits, effective May 1, 2026 (for projects placed in service from 1/1/2009 onward; CTCAC's hold-harmless rules mean a small number of counties may differ slightly depending on your project's exact placed-in-service date). Rents shown are gross — the tenant-paid rent is reduced by the project's utility allowance. Always confirm against the official CTCAC limits for your project's placed-in-service date.
Use these limits in the Affordable Housing Feasibility Pro Forma, or check application dates on the CTCAC & CDLAC deadline calendar.
