C-PACER: verified lenders

Now Open: RFQ for Lenders

King County is seeking to build a roster of verified lenders for the C-PACER program.

• Request for Qualifications
• Apply to be a verified lender

The C-PACER program is a voluntary financing mechanism in King County designed to assist owners of eligible commercial properties in securing long-term funding from private capital providers for qualified improvements related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and building resiliency.

Administered by King County without the use of government funds, the C-PACER program facilitates loans between property owners and private lenders. The county's role is to record the loan as a lien on the property, ensuring that if the property is sold, the assessment remains with the building unless addressed during the sale.

Eligible property owners often reach out to us for help finding lenders to support their participation in the C-PACER program. To make this process easier and more transparent, we’re launching a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to build a publicly available roster of verified lenders. This will include banks, credit unions, Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), and private capital providers. The list will be publicly available and serve as a go-to resource for property owners looking for financing options.
