Instructions for Filing a County Tax Credit Application

For projects completed and paid for during the previous year, file the tax credit application form and attachments with the HPC. The address is printed on the application form. APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE POSTMARKED BY APRIL 1. Complete both the Application Form and the Receipts Transmittal Form and return them with photocopies of documented receipts and clear, print photographs thoroughly showing the completed work. Please attach photographs to single sides of 8-1/2" x 11” paper, labeling the photographs on the front. Proof of payment must be shown by receipts marked "paid" or by copies of canceled checks.

The receipts must be itemized so that eligible exterior expenses are clearly marked and separated from any non-eligible expenses. If your receipt shows one price for a project that also included interior work or new construction, have your contractor break down the eligible expenditures. Expenditures must be clearly listed on the Receipts Transmittal Form and keyed to the copies of the receipts.
