Section 3.3.29.11 - APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS

A. The department considers applications in the order received, according to the day they are received, but not the time of day.

B. The department approves or disapproves an application package following the receipt of the complete application package. The department disapproves an application that is not complete or correct. The department's disapproval letter shall state the reasons why the department disapproved the application. The applicant may resubmit the application package for the disapproved project. The division places the resubmitted application in the review schedule as if it were a new application.

C. The division reviews the application package to calculate the maximum sustainable building tax credit, check accuracy of the applicant's documentation and determine whether the department issues a certificate of eligibility for the sustainable building tax credit.

D. If an onsite solar system is used to meet the requirements of either the certification level applied for in the sustainable building tax credit or the energy reduction requirement achieved, the division verifies that no person has applied for a solar market development tax credit for that solar system. If the division finds that a solar market development tax credit has been approved for that solar system, the division shall disapprove the application for the sustainable building tax credit. The applicant may submit a revised application package to the division. The division places the resubmitted application in the review schedule as if it were a new application.

E. If the division finds that the application package meets the requirements and a sustainable building tax credit is available, the department issues the certificate of eligibility for a sustainable building tax credit. If a sustainable building tax credit is partially available or not available, the department issues a certificate of eligibility for any amount that is available and a certificate of eligibility for the balance for the next taxable year, until the last taxable year when the sustainable building tax credit is in effect. The notification shall include the taxpayer's contact information, taxpayer identification number, certificate of eligibility number or numbers, the rating system certification level awarded to the building, the amount of qualified occupied square footage in the building, the sustainable building tax credit amount or amounts and the sustainable building tax credit's taxable year or years.
