Preservation Tax Credits

Colorado offers four programs that tie to historic preservation tax credits:

1. State Residential Credit

2. State Commercial Credit

3. State Housing Historic Credit

4. Federal Commercial Credit

Unlike a deduction, which reduces your taxable income, a tax credit directly reduces the amount of tax you owe on your state and/or federal income taxes.

These programs are managed by and in partnership with the National Parks Service (for Federal Commercial) and the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (for State Commercial and Housing).
