There are a variety of financial incentives available to historic property owners. Most of these incentives are linked to renovation projects and eligibility is based upon the type of property ownership. Public and non-profit organizations are eligible for matching funds from the Illinois Heritage Grants program. Homeowners can receive property tax benefits by qualifying for the Property Tax Assessment Freeze Program. Income-producing properties (commercial or residential apartments) can qualify for federal income tax credits by utilizing the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credits. Each of these programs has different applications and eligibility procedures. See the links below.
