While it is not listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it appears that it is eligible and could likely be listed. Please review the enclosed fact sheets on the National Register for more information. Also enclosed is the complete application package for the state historic preservation tax credit which provides for a credit equal to 20 percent of qualified rehabilitation expenditures against your state income tax. The state tax credit law requires that before any work begins, the proposed work must be approved by our office as meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Also, a minimum of $10,000 must be expended for the rehabilitation over a maximum period of 36 months. There is no fee to apply for this tax credit. This application is separate from any review or application that may be required by a local preservation commission or other organizations (e.g., the Utah Heritage Foundation). The state tax credit law also requires that before approval of the completed work can be issued (and the tax credit claimed), the owner must submit a complete National Register nomination to the State Historic Preservation Office. The required research and documentation can occur during or after the rehabilitation project. The property must be listed in the National Register within three years of claiming the tax credit. We hope the state historic preservation tax credit can make this rehabilitation project more economically feasible. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.
