TAPA Geography

The Title and Property Assistance (TAPA) program allows residents who do not have clear title on their home to get free or discounted legal assistance to clear the title. There could me many reasons a property title is unclear such as liens or an inherited property that didn't go through probate and is still in a parent's name. Applicants must earn less than 120% AMI, have an eligible title issue with their home, and live in specific geographic areas or have applied and been denied to a city housing program. This feature layer shows the geographic areas in which properties may qualify. It includes Market Value Analysis (MVA) categories D, E, F, G, H, and I that are south of the Trinity River and I-30. This area has a concentrated amount of title issues which may cause problems for residents and neighborhoods. This feature in particular uses the MVA for Incentive Zoning layer, which expands the original MVA to the block group level.
