Nevada Loan Options
Nevada Mortgage Credit Certificate Grant for First Time Buyers
The MCC Grant (Mortgage Credit Certificate), available in Nevada, is a specialized program meticulously designed for First-Time Home Buyers.
This initiative goes beyond merely making homeownership more accessible; it serves as a valuable resource for families with low and moderate incomes. With the MCC Grant, eligible individuals can leverage a distinctive financial tool in the form of a tax credit, enhancing affordability and nurturing the realization of homeownership dreams for families confronting economic challenges in Nevada.
Program Highlights of the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Grant
The MCC Grant reduces the amount of federal income tax you pay, thus giving you more available income to qualify for a mortgage loan and assist you with mortgage payments, making it ideal for First-Time Home Buyers.
20% of your annual mortgage interest will be a direct federal tax credit*, resulting in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your annual federal income tax liability. The remaining 80% of your annual mortgage interest will continue to qualify as an itemized tax deduction.

*The income limits may be increased or decreased by the NRH pursuant to U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidelines. The annual gross income limits are available upon request. The income limits are for Non-Targeted Areas. Please contact the NRH for income limits in Targeted Areas.
**The purchase price limits apply only to fee simple fully completed units. Leasehold residences and uncompleted units are subject to certain adjustment in determining their “acquisition cost” as defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service guidelines.
Note: if you choose to refinance an existing MCC-assisted mortgage, your original MCC becomes null and void. You must obtain a reissuance of the original MCC in order to continue to qualify for the tax credit.
