What are historic tax credits and how can they benefit a rehabilitation project?

Historic tax credits are financial incentives offered by federal and many state governments to encourage the rehabilitation and reuse of historic buildings. Eligible projects can receive a tax credit—often around 20% of qualified rehabilitation expenses—when the work meets preservation standards and the building qualifies as a certified historic structure.

What properties qualify for historic tax credits?

To qualify for historic tax credits, a property typically must be listed on the National Register of Historic Places or contribute to a registered historic district. The building must also undergo a substantial rehabilitation and meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

What is included in the Historic Preservation Certification Application?

The Historic Preservation Certification Application generally includes three main components:

  • Part 1: Evaluation of the building’s historic significance
  • Part 2: Description and approval of the proposed rehabilitation work
  • Part 3: Certification that the completed work meets preservation standards

Firms like EHT Traceries assist clients in preparing and managing all parts of the application process and coordinating with State Historic Preservation Offices and the National Park Service.
