Owners of National Register properties may be eligible for special historic preservation tax incentives. The Federal Investment Tax Credit Program authorizes a 20% investment tax credit coupled with accelerated depreciation for income-producing properties. The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is responsible for reviewing the eligibility of properties as well as rehabilitation plans to ensure their compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. For more information, call Robert Frankeberger at 602-542-6943.
In addition, the State of Arizona maintains a property tax reduction program for non-income-producing properties listed on the National Register and a property tax incentive program for income-producing properties. This program is administered by the SHPO in conjunction with the county assessors. For more information, call Sandra Snider at 602-542-6998.
