Historic Tax Credits
Did you know that NYS offers several tax credit programs for owners of historic properties? The NYS Historic Homeowners Tax Credit program is available to owner-occupied homes in historic districts that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and are located in qualifying census tracts. State and federal commercial tax credits are also available to income-producing properties undergoing a major rehab. Visit the NY State Historic Preservation Office’s website and The Landmark Society website for more info.
If your neighborhood wants to learn more about becoming a historic district or already has one in place and wants to learn more about the Homeowner Tax Credit program, contact us!
