If the application is not considered due to a lack of funding availability, the application charge will be returned.

(4) Property already purchased or donated is not eligible for LAP funding. (5) Property with a cost reimbursement agreement is not eligible for LAP funding. (6) Property purchased from an entity with an Identity of Interest to the buyer is not eligible for LAP funding. See LAP Manual for additional information. (7) Property with option agreements or purchase sale agreements are allowed to apply for LAP provided they were signed less than 12 months prior to their initial application date. (8) Property designated for renovation is not eligible for LAP funding. Exceptions may be allowed for incidental buildings on a case-by-case basis (for example, a maintenance or storage shed).
