Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program: Tax Benefits for Historic Property Owners

The Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program provides a
State of Delaware income or franchise tax credit
equal to a percentage of the costs of rehabilitation work on historic buildings. The Program is
administered through the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs ( D HCA), and it is the responsibility of
De laware s State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to determine which buildings and structures qualify
for the Program, if the rehabilitation work meets Program guidelines, and if other Program requirements
have been met. Buildings and structures held for income and those which are owner occupied are both
eligible for the Program although the percentage at which the tax credit is calculated is higher for those in
owner occupied residential use.
