PENNVEST Homeowner
Septic Loan Pocket Cards
Do your residents/customers need help paying for their septic system repair or replacement? Sometimes they let you know and sometimes they don’t. PENNVEST Homeowner Septic program can help qualified homeowners facing repairs or replacements. The program offers a fixed rate loan with a rate of 1.75% that gives borrowers up to 20 years to repay. It is funded by PENNVEST and administered by the PA Housing Finance Agency.
Many SEOs and septic companies provided feedback at the PASEO conferences about changes to the loan program that they would like to see incorporated into the program. PENNVEST/PHFA are finalizing recommendations for changes now and will be announcing new guidelines soon.
