What Is a PACE Loan and Why Is It Hard to Get Out Of?

PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) loans fund energy and home improvements like solar panels, energy-efficient windows, roofing, and HVAC systems. The loan is repaid through property tax assessments, typically over 10 to 25 years.

The problem: PACE liens have priority status on your home in some cases, which means they must be paid before refinancing or selling. Most traditional lenders refuse to refinance over a PACE lien, leaving homeowners trapped with high effective interest rates and limited options.

Many homeowners who signed PACE agreements did not fully understand the long-term financial commitment. The assessment can become costly over time, especially if your home appreciates. Getting out early can require a substantial lump sum payment.

Can You Pay Off a PACE Loan Early?

Yes. PACE assessments can typically be paid off early. When you settle the full balance, the PACE lien is removed from your property and the assessment is eliminated from your property tax bill.

The challenge is funding the payoff. A reverse mortgage may provide sufficient funds to settle the PACE balance. Once paid, the obligation ends completely and you regain full control of your home equity.

A reverse mortgage requires no monthly payments, making it an attractive option for homeowners who want to exit their PACE loans but cannot afford a large lump sum from other sources. Available at age 55 in Florida.

*Borrowers remain responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and HOA fees. The reverse mortgage provides funds to pay off the PACE assessment; it does not eliminate other home ownership costs.

Why Choose a Reverse Mortgage to Exit Your PACE Loan?

Traditional refinancing is usually blocked by the PACE lien's priority status. A reverse mortgage may work where other options cannot, subject to underwriting. It offers a practical path to reclaim your financial freedom.

May Remove PACE Lien

A reverse mortgage provides the funds to pay off your PACE assessment completely. Once the balance is settled, the lien is removed from your property. You stop paying the PACE assessment through your property tax bill.

No Monthly Payments*

Unlike a traditional mortgage or personal loan, a reverse mortgage requires no monthly payments. The loan is repaid when you sell, move, or pass away. This provides peace of mind and monthly cash flow relief.
