HOTMA Sections 102 and 104 apply from the property's transition date, with mandatory compliance by January 1, 2027
s8.hotma.compliance_date · v1.0.0
HUD Multifamily project-based programs must implement the HOTMA income, asset and asset-limitation provisions no later than January 1, 2027. Owners may comply earlier by calculating income and rents under HOTMA and using the TRACS rent override, annotating the tenant file accordingly.
The compliance date has moved three times (originally 2024, then 2025-01-01, then 2026-01-01, now 2027-01-01). Treat it as a high-volatility parameter and re-check it on the monitored cadence rather than hardcoding it in application logic.
