Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits
Includes new information and work sessions!
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
9 a.m.-4 p.m. / $140 Includes lunch
The Federal 20 percent Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit for income-producing properties listed
on the National Register of Historic Places is a major incentive for preserving and redeveloping
historic buildings in Ohio. Owners, developers, architects, consultants, real estate professionals,
tax attorneys, and accountants will all benefit from this full-day workshop presented by
experienced Ohio Historic Preservation Office staff who advise applicants and make recommendations
on Ohio projects. Participants will receive a workbook and tax credit application materials. The
morning session covers specifics of applying for and qualifying for Certification of Significance
and Certification of Rehabilitation and includes a discussion of the Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards for Rehabilitation. A summary of the status of the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit
ends the morning. The afternoon session covers how the Standards for Rehabilitation apply in a
variety of common situations, including additions to historic buildings, retention of interior
spaces and features, and what to do about windows. Among the questions to be answered are: Where
should the addition go and how big can it be? Which spaces are significant and which can safely be
altered? Up-to-the-minute guidance from the National Park Service on Interpreting and Applying the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, issued early in 2008, provides a basis
for the presentations. The afternoon ends with “you are the reviewer” roundtable discussions of
individual projects, illustrating how the Standards for Rehabilitation apply to real Ohio
rehabilitation proposals.
