Your DPA Participating Lender will turn in your DPA application package to us about 3 to 4 complete weeks* before your closing. We only accept it if everything listed in the checklist in the front of the application is provided. That gives the City enough time to review it, inspect the house, and print a check and closing documents for your title company. *Depending on underwriting review of the application and supporting documentation, there is a possibility of the requirement for clarification of information or additional documentation. Therefore, processing times do vary and can take longer than the typical 3 to 4 weeks.
