Volume Cap - 2012
2012 Allocation
The Private Activity Bond Authority (PAB) is Utah's tax-exempt bonding authority creating a lower cost, long-term source of capital under the Federal Tax Act of 1986. The Federal Government allocates over $32 billion per year to states on a per capita basis, with Utah receiving $284,560,000 in 2012. Each state establishes its usage priorities by statute. The Utah State Legislature has distributed our volume cap into the various allotment accounts listed below:
Allotment Account Percentage Dollar Amount
Single Family Mortgages 42% $119,515,200
Student Loans 33% $ 93,904,800
Small Issue Account* 24% $ 68,294,400
Multi-Family 12% $34,147,200
Manufacturing 12% $34,147,200
Qualified Redevelopment
Exempt Facilities 1% $ 2,845,600
Totals 100% $284,560,000
* Allocation for the Small Issue Account is 24% of the total volume cap. By statute, volume cap is divided evenly for projects in the Multi-Family Housing and Manufacturing categories. Qualified Redevelopment Projects were approved for funding in 2011 out of this category, but no specific percent of the volume cap was assigned.
