North Carolina Historic Preservation Tax Credit

The North Carolina Historic Preservation Tax Credit encourages the restoration of historically significant buildings by offering a financial incentive. Qualified property owners can receive a tax credit equal to a percentage of the renovation costs for approved projects on historic structures. This program helps preserve architectural heritage while minimizing the financial burden of restoration. To qualify, projects must meet specific preservation standards and be approved by state agencies. The credit can be applied against state income taxes, making it an attractive option for developers, investors, and property owners committed to maintaining North Carolina’s historical character.
