Utah 84101 -1182 [phone] FAX: [phone] February 15, 1995 Janes jensen 4584 Trinity Avenue West Valley City, Utah 84120 RE: State Historic Preservation Tax Credit Dear Ms. jensen: Our records indicate that your house at 135 (115?) East 100 North, the Niels Benson House, Spring City, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Spring City Historic District. If no substantial alterations have occurred to the building since it was evaluated at the time of nomination, it would still be eligible for, and listed in, the National Register. 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. We have received informal notification that the 'grandfathering' provision has been approved by the state legislature (work already completed as part of the overall rehabilitation project may be eligible for the tax credits). Describe in the application all work done in the last two years and dates incurred. Also, a minimum of $10,000 must be spent on 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). 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.
