C-PACE Loans for
Missouri Property Owners

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing makes it easy to fund energy efficiency, renewable energy, and resiliency improvements — paid back through a voluntary property tax assessment.

The Easy Way to Finance Energy Savings in Missouri

C-PACE through Missouri Green Banc is unlike a traditional loan. It is repaid through a voluntary property tax assessment — meaning payments are rolled into your property taxes and paid on your normal tax schedule. With up to 100% financing available (hard and soft costs), C-PACE makes it easier to start projects that reduce energy bills and modernize your building.

Why C-PACE Works for You

Secured by the Property

No personal guarantee required — the assessment is tied to the real property, not the individual borrower.

Up to 100% Financing

Cover both hard costs (equipment, construction) and soft costs (permits, engineering, fees) in a single financing.

Deferred First Payment

Nothing due for at least six months after closing, then payments follow your existing property tax schedule — only twice a year.

Fixed Interest Rate

Lock in a competitive fixed rate — typically more affordable than mezzanine debt or bridge financing.

Off-Balance-Sheet Treatment

C-PACE assessments are often treated as an operating expense rather than balance-sheet debt.

Pass-Through to Tenants

In net-lease structures, project costs can be passed through to the tenants who directly benefit from the energy savings.

Capital Stack Flexibility

Use C-PACE as gap financing that reduces the cash or equity you need to close a deal.

Save Energy & Support Missouri

Every C-PACE project reduces energy costs and supports Missouri's statewide clean energy goals.
