CaliforniaFirst
CaliforniaFirst is a financing program that helps property owners pay for energy-efficient upgrades and renewable energy projects, like solar panels or insulation, through a special assessment on their property tax bill. This allows homeowners and businesses to spread the cost over several years, making it more affordable. The program encourages sustainable improvements by offering low-interest financing and minimal upfront costs, while the repayment is tied to the property, not the individual owner, potentially transferring with the property if sold. This setup promotes both environmental benefits and long-term financial savings.
