The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program operates in the unincorporated areas of Manatee County.
The PACE Program provides financing for property owners to make qualifying improvements to their businesses or homes. Improvements may be made in the form of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and/or wind resistance.
Property owners voluntarily opt into a non-ad valorem assessment program to finance these improvements. Repayments of the improvements are paid annually through the property tax bill.
The value of the improvement and the obligation to repay the annual assessment lies within the property, so if the property changes ownership the obligation stays with the property.
The following are PACE Providers approved by the County:
