Federal historic tax credit

We are experts in the 20 percent federal tax credit that is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Since 1985, 43,000 income-producing properties have utilized this tool for $131 billion in historic rehabilitations.

2

State historic tax credit

Combined with the federal program, some projects can receive up to 45% in tax credits for rehabilitation costs when utilizing state programs. Currently, 35 states have their own legislation, and the MHA team is well-equipped to navigate each program.

3

National register of historic places nominations and local landmarks designations

In order to receive federal and some state historic rehabilitation tax credits, the property must be listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), a program administered by the National Park Service (NPS).

4

Regulatory review

MHA advises clients on complicated real estate transactions under regulatory review. We are a valuable resource in the design process, guiding project teams to avoid pitfalls that may disqualify them from the tax credit programs or prolong the review of their certification application.

5

Due diligence

MHA can advise on preliminary considerations of historic tax credit requirements for a project in order to plan for a successful rehabilitation that meets funding goals and anticipates realistic timing.
