Application Filing Deadlines:
Physical Damage: July 21, 2025 Economic Injury: February 23, 2026
If you are located in a declared disaster area, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
What Types of Disaster Loans are Available?
• Business Physical Disaster Loans – Loans to businesses to repair or replace disaster-damaged property owned by the business,
including real estate, inventories, supplies, machinery and equipment. Businesses of any size are eligible. Private, non-profit
organizations such as charities, churches, private universities, etc., are also eligible.
• Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – Working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small
businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary
financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster
recovery period.
• Home Disaster Loans – Loans to homeowners or renters to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate and personal
property, including automobiles.
What are the Credit Requirements?
• Credit History – Applicants must have a credit history acceptable to SBA.
• Repayment – Applicants must show the ability to repay all loans.
What are the Interest Rates?
By law, the interest rates depend on whether each applicant has Credit Available Elsewhere. An applicant does not have Credit Available
Elsewhere when SBA determines the applicant does not have sufficient funds or other resources, or the ability to borrow from non-
government sources, to provide for its own disaster recovery. An applicant, which SBA determines to have the ability to provide for his
or her own recovery is deemed to have Credit Available Elsewhere. Interest rates are fixed for the term of the loan. The interest rates
applicable for this disaster are:
Physical Damage Loan Types No Credit Available Credit Available
Elsewhere Elsewhere
Home Loans 2.750% 5.500%
Business Loans 4.000% 8.000%
Non-Profit Organizations 3.625% 3.625%
Economic Injury Loan Types No Credit Available Credit Available
Elsewhere Elsewhere
Businesses & Small Agricultural Cooperatives 4.000% N/A
Non-Profit Organizations 3.625% N/A
Page 42 of 136

[PAGE 43]
Date: 05/21/2025
What are Loan Terms?
The law authorizes loan terms up to a maximum of 30 years. However, the law restricts businesses with credit available elsewhere to a
maximum 7-year term. SBA sets the installment payment amount and corresponding maturity based upon each borrower’s ability to
repay. Borrowers may be required to provide collateral.
What are the Loan Amount Limits?
• Business Loans – The law limits business loans to $2,000,000 for the repair or replacement of real estate, inventories, machinery,
equipment and all other physical losses. Subject to this maximum, loan amounts cannot exceed the verified uninsured disaster
loss.
• Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – The law limits EIDLs to $2,000,000 for alleviating economic injury caused by the
disaster. The actual amount of each loan is limited to the economic injury determined by SBA, less business interruption
insurance and other recoveries up to the administrative lending limit. EIDL assistance is available only to entities and their
owners who cannot provide for their own recovery from non-government sources, as determined by the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
• Business Loan Ceiling – The $2,000,000 statutory limit for business loans applies to the combination of physical, economic
injury, mitigation and refinancing, and applies to all disaster loans to a business and its affiliates for each disaster. If a business
is a major source of employment, SBA has the authority to waive the $2,000,000 statutory limit.
• Home Loans – SBA regulations limit home loans to $500,000 for the repair or replacement of real estate and $100,000 to repair
or replace personal property. Subject to these maximums, loan amounts cannot exceed the verified uninsured disaster loss.
What Restrictions are there on Loan Eligibility?
• Uninsured Losses – Only uninsured or otherwise uncompensated disaster losses are eligible. Any insurance proceeds which
are required to be applied against outstanding mortgages are not available to fund disaster repairs and do not reduce loan
eligibility. However, any insurance proceeds voluntarily applied to any outstanding mortgages do reduce loan eligibility.
• Ineligible Property – Secondary homes, personal pleasure boats, airplanes, recreational vehicles and similar property are not
eligible, unless used for business purposes. Property such as antiques and collections are eligible only to the extent of their
functional value. Amounts for landscaping, swimming pools, etc., are limited.
• Noncompliance – Applicants who have not complied with the terms of previous SBA loans may not be eligible. This includes
borrowers who did not maintain flood and/or hazard insurance on previous SBA loans.
Note: Loan applicants should check with agencies / organizations administering any grant or other assistance program under this
declaration to determine how an approval of SBA disaster loan might affect their eligibility.
Is There Help with Funding Mitigation Improvements?
If your loan application is approved, you may be eligible for additional funds to cover the cost of improvements that will protect your
property against future damage. Examples of improvements include retaining walls, seawalls, sump pumps, etc. Mitigation loan money
would be in addition to the amount of the approved loan but may not exceed 20 percent of total amount of physical damage to real
property, including leasehold improvements, and personal property as verified by SBA to a maximum of $500,000 for home loans. It is
not necessary for the description of improvements and cost estimates to be submitted with the application. SBA approval of the mitigating
measures will be required before any loan increase.
Is There Help Available for Refinancing?
• SBA can refinance all or part of prior mortgages that are evidenced by a recorded lien, when the applicant (1) does not have
credit available elsewhere, (2) has suffered substantial uncompensated disaster damage (40 percent or more of the value of the
property or 50% or more of the value of the structure), and (3) intends to repair the damage.
• Businesses – Business owners may be eligible for the refinancing of existing mortgages or liens on real estate, machinery and
equipment, up to the amount of the loan for the repair or replacement of real estate, machinery, and equipment.
• Homes – Homeowners may be eligible for the refinancing of existing liens or mortgages on homes, up to the amount of the loan
for real estate repair or replacement.
What if I Decide to Relocate?
You may use your SBA disaster loan to relocate. The amount of the relocation loan depends on whether you relocate voluntarily or
involuntarily. If you are interested in relocation, an SBA representative can provide you with more details on your specific situation.
Are There Insurance Requirements for Loans?
To protect each borrower and the Agency, SBA may require you to obtain and maintain appropriate insurance. By law, borrowers whose
damaged or collateral property is located in a special flood hazard area must purchase and maintain flood insurance. SBA requires that
flood insurance coverage be the lesser of 1) the total of the disaster loan, 2) the insurable value of the property, or 3) the maximum
insurance available.
Applications for disaster loans may be submitted online using the MySBA Loan Portal at https://lending.sba.gov or other locally
announced locations. Please contact the SBA’s Customer Service Center by email at disastercustomerservice@sba.gov or by phone
at 1-800-659-2955 for further assistance. For people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1 to
access telecommunications relay services.

Dear Board of Supervisors,
I am writing to formally appeal the Parcel value(s) for the following property account(s)

Therefore, I respectfully request a review and adjustment of the following accounts:
PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PAGE FOR PARCELS.
I am requesting that the Board review these assessments and make the necessary
adjustments based on fair market valuations. I am also available to provide any supporting
documentation such as recent appraisals, photographs, or market analysis.
Please let me know if a hearing is required and provide available dates. You can reach me at
(832)-662-5820 or ryork@poconnor.com.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Randie York
