Federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit (RITC)

This federal tax credit is for 20% of the costs of renovations to an income producing building (including labor, materials and architects or other consultant fees). For instance, if an owner/developer spent $100,000 rehabilitating a historic building, they would get 20%, or $20,000, worth of tax credits.

To qualify for the federal credit, a building must be income producing (not a private residence) and listed or eligible for listing in the National Register. Over 10,000 Vermont buildings are currently listed and thousands more are eligible. Owners unsure if their building is listed or if it qualifies for listing should contact Chris Cochran or call 802-828-3047.

In addition, project cost must exceed the adjusted basis of the building: (Adjusted basis = purchase price, minus appraised value of the land, minus depreciation, plus capital improvements) and plans are reviewed as part of the approval process. More information.
