The Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit is an exciting addition to the preservation toolkit. Under the program a certified rehabilitation project on an income-producing property is eligible to receive up to 20% of the cost of certified rehabilitation expenditures in state tax credits. There is an annual cap, so there are selection criteria that ensure the funds are distributed to the projects that provide the most public benefit. The MHC certifies the projects and allocates available credits.
Important Note about Deadlines
In order to be considered for allocation of funds, Part I and Part II must be submitted to the MHC by the application deadline. The deadlines each year are: April 30, August 31, and January 15. (Please note that the previous deadline of December 31 has been changed to January 15).
