Historic Preservation Tax Credits

This month’s Colorado Heritage magazine contains a Q & A about historic preservation tax credits in Colorado. These credits, both state and federal, are designed to encourage property owners to repair, renovate, and preserve historic buildings by helping them save money on their taxes.  In our library we have a number of resources that explain the process and eligibility for preservation tax credits:

• Colorado Historic Preservation Income Tax Credit (History Colorado)
• Colorado Historical Foundation Preservation Easements Program: Saving Buildings while Saving Taxes (History Colorado)
• Financial Incentives (History Colorado) 
• Historic Property Preservation Income Tax Credit (Colorado Department of Revenue)
• Main Street Resources (Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Colorado Main Street Program)
• Preservation for a Changing Colorado (History Colorado and Colorado Preservation, Inc.)
• Preservation Tax Credits (History Colorado)
