The Program is different from other forms of financing because:
It is designed specifically for home improvements that provide energy efficiency, water-conservation, renewable energy and hurricane protection.
It is paid at a fixed interest rate through an additional line item on your property taxes.
It is repaid through your property taxes.
The interest on these payments may be tax deductible*.
Approval for HERO financing is primarily based on the equity in the homeowner's home and their debt payment history, rather than their credit score.
