Local Government FAQ

What is the statutory history of C-PACE in Texas?

C-PACE was signed into law in 2013 by Gov. Rick Perry to encourage economic development and further the state’s energy and water conservation goals.

What role does the municipality play in the C-PACE Texas program?

Local governments are responsible for establishing their own C-PACE program. After a program is established, Lone Star PACE handles 100% of the administration on behalf of local government.

How can I implement a C-PACE program in my municipality?

Local governments must adopt a C-PACE program in order for property owners within their jurisdiction to take advantage of the financing. Programs are established through a two-meeting process, which is outlined in the Texas PACE Act, Chapter 399 of local government code.

Does C-PACE use public funds?

No! C-PACE assessments are funded through private-sector lenders. A list of C-PACE capital providers can be found here.
