Are you the owner of a historic property? Colorado offers a state income tax credit to property owners for preservation and rehabilitation work on designated historic properties. The credit is 20% of the costs, up to $50,000.   

Denver Landmark Preservation staff processes state income tax credit applications for historic properties located in the city of Denver. Owners are advised to obtain appropriate tax advice to ensure that all requirements are met. Learn more on our state tax credit page.
