Pima County has established a Bond to assist home buyers in the purchase of homes in Pima County.  The Pima County Bond Program offers a low 4.55% 30 year fixed rate FHA or VA loan for first time home buyers.  There are only a few restrictions to this program.  There are two different areas in Pima County that have income and purchase price limits, Target and Non Targeted areas.  Target areas are parts of Pima county that have lower home ownership, lower household income averages or just areas where the County wants to promote more home ownership.    Buyers Household Income Limits for Non Targeted areas is $69,000 for 1-2 person households and $79,675 for households with 3 or more persons.  For Targeted areas the income limit is $79,48 for 1-2 person households and $79,675 for3 or more person households.   The larger income limits will give more buyers the opportunity to purchase homes in these Targeted areas.  

The next limit is the sale price for the homes.  The program allows for the purchase of 1 units homes and for 2 unit homes such as duplexes.  The program also has different limits for new and existing home.  For existing homes the max purchase price for a 1 unit home is $276,334 and for a 2 unit home it is $353,752.  For new homes the 1-Unit limit is $337,741 and for 2-Units $432,363.
