The purpose of state and federal preservation tax incentives is to encourage private sector investment in the
rehabilitation and re-use of historic buildings and to promote investment in local economies.
If you own a certified historic property in Maryland, you may have the opportunity to earn a state
income tax credit on qualified rehabilitation expenditures. Whether you are planning to rehabilitate
your primary or secondary residence, or a commercial property, there are state incentives that may help. Select a
project type for more information.
Consultation may be appropriate for comprehensive and significant rehabilitation projects. Prospective applicants
are encouraged to contact MHT tax credit staff early in the planning process. Early communication allows MHT
the opportunity to provide useful guidance in identifying potential design issues, site or building challenges
as well as providing opportunities for further discussion on how to complete a successful application, and
schedule site visits if determined necessary.
