New tax credit program for property owners of historic buildings in Anne Arundel County. The tax credit will help offset expenses related to rehabilitation on historic landmarks in the County.
For a property to qualify the Office of Planning and Zoning must certify the building or historic district meets the criteria detailed in the legislation, to be determined a County “Historic Landmark.” The criteria consider the structure’s age, its significance to County history, and the physical integrity of its historic form. Expenditures for certain interior or exterior preservation, restoration and rehabilitation work on these landmark properties may qualify for the tax credit, so long as the work meets standards that ensure the historic nature of the property is not compromised. Infill construction within a Landmark Historic District will also qualify for a 5% tax credit so long as the new construction is architecturally compatible with the surrounding district.
The program includes four steps. Follow this link to access the four part application.
