Federal Tax Credits

[FOR HOMEBUYERS]
ENERGY STAR Mortgage
The GEO is partnering with the Bank of Colorado to offer an ENERGY STAR Mortgage pilot program. The program offers a total of one “discount point” that you can use to access a lower interest rate on your new home loan. Please note that Colorado resident consumers cannot utilize both the GEO funded mortage benefit and other GEO funded rebates, the programs are exclusive of one another.
This is the label that identifies a home as having earned the ENERGY STAR. The easy way to make sure a new home is energy efficient is to look for the blue ENERGY STAR label, the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency.Upcoming Events
