Similar to conventional mortgages, local banks, insurance companies and /or pension funds purchase the bonds issued by the HIDA . The rates, terms and conditions are all set by the purchaser and are backed by the full faith and credit of the borrower, not the HIDA.
Tax Exemptions and Tax Abatements
The HIDA provides real property tax abatements for 10 to 15 years on increased valuation in addition to state and local sales tax exemptions on equipment and materials for qualified projects.
A Proven Track Record of Success
