Role of Historic Tax Credits in Financing Real Estate Rehabilitation Projects

The federal historic rehabilitation tax credit (HTC) program is an indirect federal subsidy to finance the rehabilitation of historic buildings with a 20 percent tax credit for qualified expenditures. In a tight real estate market with higher interest rates, the availability of HTCs can influence whether a rehabilitation of a historic property moves forward or not. Farella has served as HTC tax counsel for many of the largest historic rehabilitations in the Bay Area.

The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program encourages private sector rehabilitation of historic buildings and is one of the nation's most successful and cost-effective community revitalization programs.
