Okeechobee commons is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Okeechobee, Florida. LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs). Qualifying residents pay rent based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Okeechobee. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 34972 zip code is $49,786 for a single person and $71,123 for a 4-person household. These figures make Okeechobee tax credit apartments among the most affordable rentals available without a Section 8 voucher.
To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below the income limit set for this property. Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property. Rent is fixed at a discounted rate tied to AMI — not to your specific income — so your monthly payment stays predictable.
By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Okeechobee commons was placed in service around 1994, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~1994.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Okeechobee. Based on the 34972 zip code AMI (2024), this property's 50% income limit is approximately $24,893/yr for 1 person / $35,562/yr for a 4-person household.

LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Okeechobee commons was placed in service around 1994, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2024). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
In addition to the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit, this property was also financed with: USDA Section 515 rural housing loan. Layering multiple housing subsidy programs is common and often allows properties to offer deeper affordability or better amenities than LIHTC alone.
Yes. HFA records classify this as a new construction LIHTC property, meaning units were purpose-built as affordable housing rather than converted from existing stock. New construction properties often feature modern layouts and energy-efficient systems. It's worth asking management about the age of appliances and any known maintenance issues before applying.
HUD records indicate this property may no longer be actively monitored under the LIHTC compliance program (reason: 1). This does not necessarily mean it is market-rate — some properties voluntarily maintain affordability after the compliance period ends. Call management directly to confirm the current rent structure and any remaining income restrictions.
