Abstract: The Federal Historic
Preservation Tax Incentives Program
encourages private-sector investment in
the rehabilitation and re-use of historic
buildings. Through this program,
underutilized or vacant buildings
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

throughout the country of every period,
size, style, and type have been
rehabilitated and reused in a manner
that maintains their historic character.
To be eligible for tax incentives for
historic buildings, a building must be
listed individually on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP); or
located in a registered historic district
and certified by the NPS as contributing
to the historic significance of that
district. A registered historic district is
any district listed on the NRHP; or a
state or local district if the district and
the enabling statute have also been
certified by the NPS. The NRHP is the
official list of the Nation’s historic
places worthy of preservation.
Section 47 of the Internal Revenue
Code requires that the Secretary of the
Interior certify to the Secretary of the
Treasury upon application by owners of
historic properties for Federal tax
benefits: (a) The historic significance of
the property, and (b) that the
rehabilitation work is consistent with its
historic character. The NPS administers
the program with the Internal Revenue
Service in partnership with the State
Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs).
The NPS uses the information collected
in the Historic Preservation Certification
Application (Forms 10–168, 10–168a,
10–168b, and 10–168c) to evaluate the
condition and historic significance of
buildings undergoing rehabilitation, and
to evaluate whether or not the
rehabilitation work meets the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation.
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part
67 contain a requirement for completion
of an application form. The NPS needs
the information required on the
application form to allow the authorized
officer to determine if the project is
qualified to obtain historic preservation
certifications from the Secretary of the
Interior. These certifications are
necessary for an applicant to receive
substantial federal tax incentives
authorized by Section 47 of the Internal
Revenue Code. These incentives include
a 20% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of income-producing
historic buildings and an income tax
deduction for the charitable donation of
easements on historic properties. The
Internal Revenue Code also provides a
10% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of nonhistoric,
nonresidential buildings built before
1936. An owner of a nonhistoric
building in a historic district must also
use the application to obtain a
certification from the Secretary of the
Interior that his or her building does not
contribute to the significance of the
historic district before claiming this

lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The
10% credit was repealed as part of the
2017 tax reform legislation, but remains
in effect under certain transition rules.
SHPOs are the first point of contact
for property owners wishing to use the
rehabilitation tax credits. They help
applicants determine if an historic
building is eligible for Federal or State
historic preservation tax incentives,
provide guidance on an application
before or after the project begins, and
provide advice on appropriate
preservation work. SHPOs use Forms
10–168d and 10–168e to make
recommendations to NPS.
In accordance with 36 CFR 67, we
also collect information for: (1)
Certifications of State and local statutes
(§ 67.8), (2) certifications of State or
local historic districts (§ 67.9), and (3)
appeals (§ 67.10).

Abstract: The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program
encourages private-sector investment in the rehabilitation and re-use
of historic buildings. Through this program, underutilized or vacant
buildings throughout the country of every period, size, style, and type
have been rehabilitated and reused in a manner that maintains their
historic character. To be eligible for tax incentives for historic
buildings, a building must be listed individually on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP); or located in a registered historic
district and certified by the NPS as contributing to the historic
significance of that district. A registered historic district is any
district listed on the NRHP; or a state or local district if the
district and the enabling statute have also been certified by the NPS.
The NRHP is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of
preservation.
Section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code requires that the Secretary
of the Interior certify to the Secretary of the Treasury upon
application by owners of historic properties for Federal tax benefits:
(a) The historic significance of the property, and (b) that the
rehabilitation work is consistent with its historic character. The NPS
administers the program with the Internal Revenue Service in
partnership with the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs). The
NPS uses the information collected in the Historic Preservation
Certification Application (Forms 10-168, 10-168a, 10-168b, and 10-168c)
to evaluate the condition and historic significance of buildings
undergoing rehabilitation, and to evaluate whether or not the
rehabilitation work meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation.
Regulations codified in 36 CFR part 67 contain a requirement for
completion of an application form. The NPS needs the information
required on the application form to allow the authorized officer to
determine if the project is qualified to obtain historic preservation
certifications from the Secretary of the Interior. These certifications
are necessary for an applicant to receive substantial federal tax
incentives authorized by Section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code. These
incentives include a 20% federal income tax credit for the
rehabilitation of income-producing historic buildings and an income tax
deduction for the charitable donation of easements on historic
properties. The Internal Revenue Code also provides a 10% federal
income tax credit for the rehabilitation of nonhistoric, nonresidential
buildings built before 1936. An owner of a nonhistoric building in a
historic district must also use the application to obtain a
certification from the Secretary of the Interior that his or her
building does not contribute to the significance of the historic
district before claiming this
[[Page 31910]]
lesser tax credit for rehabilitation. The 10% credit was repealed as
part of the 2017 tax reform legislation, but remains in effect under
certain transition rules.
SHPOs are the first point of contact for property owners wishing to
use the rehabilitation tax credits. They help applicants determine if
an historic building is eligible for Federal or State historic
preservation tax incentives, provide guidance on an application before
or after the project begins, and provide advice on appropriate
preservation work. SHPOs use Forms 10-168d and 10-168e to make
recommendations to NPS.
In accordance with 36 CFR 67, we also collect information for: (1)
Certifications of State and local statutes (Sec. 67.8), (2)
certifications of State or local historic districts (Sec. 67.9), and
(3) appeals (Sec. 67.10).
