State Historic Tax Credit

The California Preservation Foundation sponsored the State Historic Tax Credit bill SB 451, an important piece of legislation that will make preservation accessible and affordable throughout California. On October 9th, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 451, the California Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit, adding California to the list of more than 35 states that have passed such incentives. The bill, which passed both the Senate and the Assembly with unanimous approval, will enable the renewal of aging structures and communities throughout the state, and promote the development of affordable housing.
