How does the Town’s Historic Tax Credit program work?
The local Bel Air tax credit program is only available to property owners of locally designated sites. Property owners must submit applications for Certificate of Approval and Tax Credit approval. A 10% tax credit is available for exterior renovations or rehabilitation and a 5% credit is available for new construction (exterior only). Upon completion of a project, a property owner must submit detailed receipts and proof of payment, so that the Bel Air Historic Preservation Commission may determine the final tax credit amount.
