The Groups Historic Bill
West Virginia groups historic rehab tax credit into one article
Historic Rehab Building Credit Act
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let owners claim a 25% tax credit for fixing certified historic buildings, and make the rules easier to follow.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People who own old buildings could get money back on their taxes, which may encourage preservation, but it also means less tax money for the state.
