Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The recipient
					 must obtain approval by the Department as to the eligibility of contemplated
					 improvements prior to initiating such improvements.
(b) The value of improvements to assisted
					 property shall be determined at the time such improvements are made, in the
					 following manner:
(1) Where improvements are
					 made which increase the value of the property, the value of such improvements
					 shall be the amount, if any, by which the value of the property after the
					 improvements are made exceeds the value of the property before the improvements
					 are made,
(A) less the amount, if any, by
					 which the value of the property has been increased by other work not
					 constituting improvements performed between the two valuations, and
(B) plus the cost to the recipient of the
					 appraisals to determine the value of the property before and after the
					 improvements were made in accordance with this section.
The improvements adjustment to be made to the purchase
						price under Section 7914(c) (4) and (d) (5) shall be calculated in accordance
						with the following formula:
E =
(V1 x
								E1) + I
V1 +
								I
E is the proportion of the value to which the household
						is entitled after improvements
V1 is the value of the property
						immediately before the improvements are made
I is the value of the improvements (in accordance with
						subdivisions (1) of this section)
E1 is the proportion of the value
						of the property to which the household is entitled immediately before the
						improvements were made
On each occasion that the property is improved, a new
						value for E shall be determined by applying the formula. The value of E thus
						determined will be used as E1 the next occasion on which
						improvements are made. The amount to which the household shall be entitled on
						sale or termination of state financial assistance shall be the sale price or
						fair market value multiplied by the value of E at the time of sale or
						termination.
