Documents that Show Proof of Ownership

The following is a listing of the forms of ownership that landlords/owners may provide.  Only one of the documents listed needs to be submitted with each the client’s RTA.  When in doubt, you can ask the Section 8 Financial Analyst or look on a copy of the IHA - Section 8 Proof of Property Ownership Form:

  • Recorded Warranty Deed, which includes the instrument number stamped from the Recorder's Office, appropriate signatures, each property address, name of the owner(s), and notary information.

  • A Recorded deed must be presented if the property is jointly owned.

  • Auditor-Stamped Sales Disclosure form

  • Co-op Propriety Lease

  • Notice of Proposed Taxes or Tax Receipt from the Treasurer's Office.

  • A full detailed parcel/property description from the Assessor's Office.

  • If the Property is held in trust, we need a complete copy of the Trust Agreement.

Note:  ALL REQUIRED ownership documentation/forms must be uniform in the name and tax identification of the owner as well as list of the property address. If any of the above information is not completely filled in on the form, or if proof of ownership documentation is not provided the RTA will not to be accepted.

HAP payments to owners are electronic and paid by either direct deposit into an account designated by the owner or by debit card.  Owners do not opt for the direct deposit are automatically enrolled to receive the debit card option for payment.
