HISTORIC PRESERVATION TOPICS FOR CERTIFIED
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
Community Benefits of Preservation
Our role in Historic Preservation
Oro Valley's Historic Preservation Commission
The Town of Oro Valley's Historic Preservation Commission's charge involves the safeguarding
of the Town's cultural and
historical identity (quoted
in the preamble of the HPC's Rules)
Incentives for Historic Preservation
Tax Savings
As tangible links to its past, a community's historic buildings reflect the unique character of its neighborhoods, businesses, and gathering places.
Various federal and state laws have been
enacted to support the preservation of these
places through tax reductions, grants, and
other financial incentives.
Arizona's historic property owners can benefit from these programs if their properties meet certain criteria.
4 W GREENOCK DR –circa 1959
The Investment Tax Credit Program (ITC)
Federal Tax Incentives
The ITC program permits owners and some lessees of historic buildings to take a 20 percent income tax credit on the cost of rehabilitating such buildings for industrial, commercial, or rental purposes.
This program also permits depreciation of such improvements over 27.5 years for a rental residential property and 31.5 years for commercial property.
The rehabilitated building must be a certified historic structure that is subject to depreciation, and the rehabilitation must be certified as meeting The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, established by the National Park Service (NPS).
FOR OWNER-OCCUPIED HOMES
STATE HISTORIC PROPERTY TAX RECLASSIFICATION (SPT)
This program offers a substantial reduction in the state property tax assessment for eligible owners.
The SPT program reduces the property taxes between 35-45 percent.
The exact figure is dependent on special assessments which are specific to your area.
A fifteen-year agreement:
Requires maintenance of the property according to federal and Arizona State Parks Board standards
Is limited to property used for non-income producing activities.
The property must be listed on the National Register of Historic Places either individually or as a contributor to a historic district.
•The program is managed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
•In conjunction with Arizona's county assessor's offices.
•SHPO determines program eligibility and monitors property maintenance
•The county assessor enacts tax classification changes, manages issues of property value, and tax calculation.•Properties must meet standards established by the Arizona State Parks Board.•The SPT program is governed by ARS §42-12101 and ARS §42-12102 through §42-12108
•and is operated according to rules established in the Arizona Administrative Code (12-8-306).
Increased Property Values
Houses often represent our largest economic asset, and we all want this asset to improve in value.
Historic district designation and the use of design review guidelines help to ensure that our investment in a historic area will be protected —from inappropriate new construction, misguided remodeling, or demolition.
Studies have shown that over time, property valuation in historic districts tends to increase, sometimes dramatically. No evidence suggests that historic designation and the use of design guidelines lowers property values.
Numerous studies across the country have shown that property values in designated National Register or local historic districts generally increase at a more rapid rate than the market.

For Oro Valley's future?
Locally designated districts protect the composite or overall economic value of a historic area.
Every building or parcel in a historic area is influenced by the actions of its neighbors.
Every decision one property owner makes has an impact on the property values of another.
Design guidelines provide a level playing field for all property owners because they apply equally to everyone in a historic area.
