Must meet Income Restrictions
All the rental apartments at TAL have low-income restrictions. The number of persons in a household determines the maximum household income. Anyone applying will have to earn household income of 80% or less of Area Median Income (AMI) for Nevada County for their household size. Any applicant with household income in excess of the 80% AMI for their household size in the chart below will not qualify to live at TAL.
Applicants will qualify based on the permitted Nevada County maximum incomes in effect at the time of application. The table below summarizes the maximum qualifying household income by AMI and household size for TAL based on Nevada County 2021 income limits.
