Current through May 31, 2024
(a) An application
				for financial assistance under this chapter must be made under oath as to the
				truth and accuracy of its contents.
(b) At the time the applicant initiates the
				application process by submitting to the executive director any of the
				information required in subsection (c) of this section, the applicant must pay
				the application fee and the estimated direct costs of the authority for
				evaluating its application. At the discretion of the executive director, a
				partial advance payment of the estimated direct costs may be accepted, provided
				the applicant agrees to a payment schedule established by the executive
				director. All direct costs incurred by the authority must be reimbursed before
				the authority will consider the applicant's bond resolution or, at the
				discretion of the authority, the outstanding balance due from the applicant for
				these costs may be paid from the financing fee set out under
				15 AAC 118.060(a). Direct costs will be
				credited against the financing fee paid to the authority under
				15 AAC 118.060(a); however, the credit may
				not exceed 50 percent of the financing fee. For purposes of this subsection,
				the nonrefundable application fee and the annual fee set out under
				15 AAC 118.060(b)
				are not direct costs.

				informational purposes and informal review, the executive director shall
				receive, acknowledge receipt and notify the authority that an applicant has
				initiated the application process. However, the authority will not consider an
