Historic Preservation Property Tax Credit Applications Open

The City of Frederick is accepting applications for the City Historic Preservation Property Tax Credit until April 1, 2022. 

Tax paying property owners may apply for a credit equal to 25 percent of the properly documented expenditures incurred during 2021 for exterior work that contributes to the restoration or preservation of a structure designated by the City of Frederick as a Historic Preservation Overlay zone. 

This includes all properties in the Frederick Town Historic District and any individually designated sites. To be eligible, the project must have prior HPC approval and a permit unless the project is only for eligible work on the Minor Rehabilitation List. 

Application forms and details are available in the Planning Department or online at www.cityoffrederickmd.gov/preservation. You may also call 301-600-1499 for more information.
