Are there any grants, loans, tax incentives, or other ways to help finance improvements to my historic structure?
Buildings included on the National Register of Historic Places are eligible for a federal tax incentive for rehabilitation if the building is used for income-producing purposes. Contact the State Historic Preservation Office for information, 775-684-3445. The National Trust offers grants and loans to non-profit organizations, and has established an insurance program for owners of historic houses. Visit the National Trust Web site for more information. The Nevada Commission for Cultural Affairs (CCA) provides grants for the rehabilitation of historic buildings that will be used as cultural centers. Grant applications are due October 1 each year. For more information on the CCA grant program, call Mella Harmon at 775-684-3447.
