Georgia State Historic Preservation Tax Credit
Georgia Department of Natural Resources
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Georgia State Historic Preservation Tax Credit in its Macon, GA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Georgia offers a 25% state income tax credit for qualified rehabilitation of historic homes, which can be combined with the 20% federal historic tax credit for a total of 45%. Property must be individually listed or contributing to a National Register district. Rehabilitation must meet federal standards.
Credit equals 25% of qualified rehabilitation expenditures meeting historic standards
Each program administrator alone decides its combination rules. The Grant Map has not verified those rules.
