A Vital Tool for Preservation and Economic Growth

Established in 1978, the Federal Historic Tax Credit program has successfully implemented a national policy of preserving our historic resources. It is the most significant investment the federal government makes toward the preservation of our historic buildings. In addition to preserving historic buildings, the HTC revitalizes communities and spurs economic growth, all while returning more to the Treasury than it costs, $1.20 in tax revenue for every dollar invested. It is a critical ingredient for historic preservation building strong communities.

Over the life of the program, the historic rehabilitation tax credit (HTC) has:

  • Facilitated the rehabilitation of over 42,000 certified historic buildings;
  • Created more than 3.2 million good-paying local jobs;
  • Attracted more than $90 billion in new private capital to the historic core of cities and towns across the nation;
  • Leveraged $235 billion in private investment in our communities;
  • Used $27.5 billion in tax credits to generate more than $32.4 billion in federal tax revenue; and
  • Preserved more than 49,000 buildings that form the historic fabric of our nation.
