Michigan's State Historic Tax Credit Program
Applications for the State Historic Preservation Tax Credit ("state credit") must fall into one of three categories. The availability of credits in each category will depend on the amount of credits already committed in each category within the calendar year.
Owner occupied residential applicants may apply for the 2023 state credit. The application will be available until all credits have been reserved, up to the program cap.
Small commercial applications were closed when it was expected that all 2023 credits would be committed. As of August 1, 2023, a limited amount of 2023 credits in this category have not yet been committed. Therefore, new Part 1 applications in this category are now being accepted. Applications and supplemental information are required to be submitted via courier so that delivery date and time can be tracked. When all credits for 2023 have been committed, it will be announced on the website and the application window will be closed. Any received applications in process will be reviewed and awarded priority numbers for 2024 credits if found to be eligible.
Due to the overwhelming number of applications received for the 2022 large commercial category credits and the 2-year eligibility of those applications, all large commercial credits have been committed and the application window will not reopen in 2023.
