ULA Exemptions – LAHD

United to House LA (ULA) is a sustainable funding stream dedicated to affordable housing production and homelessness prevention in the City of Los Angeles. The ULA measure and ordinance includes allowable tax exemptions for transferees who meet established criteria. The Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) administers requests for tax exemptions on conveyances of real property over $5 million for qualified purchasers who develop and/or operate affordable housing, pursuant to Section 21.9.14 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

LAHD has prepared ULA Exemption Eligibility Guidelines, which enumerate the requirements for qualifying for a tax exemption pursuant to the Measure; describe the procedures for determining whether a requester qualifies for the exemption; and outline various policies and protocols that govern administration of the exemption process.

The ULA Exemption Portal is LAHD’s platform for initiating and processing requests from entities seeking exemptions from payment of the Measure ULA transfer tax. To request an exemption from LAHD, please visit the ULA Exemption Portal.

Pursuant to section 21.9.15 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, the Los Angeles Office of Finance administers exemptions for other nonprofits with assets less than one billion dollars, government agencies, and any other entities constitutionally exempt from the City’s taxing power.
