For example, the total cost of your roof replacement ends up being $10,000, so you send MHT the final Part 3 application along with all receipts and photographs necessary to verify the expenses and that the work is consistent with the initial approval. If the Director determines that the project is approvable, you will be able to deduct $2,000 (20%) from the amount of Maryland State Income Taxes that you owe for the calendar year in which the project was completed. If you owe less than $2,000 in income taxes that year, you will receive a refund check from the Comptroller of Maryland. 

The application must be filed and approved before any work is done, so any repairs completed before applying to the MHT would not qualify.  Generally, any work that rehabs the historic significance of the house would be eligible, like replacing a slate rook with a new slate roof, but a new kitchen, vinyl siding or replacement windows may not be eligible.  Part of requirement for application is the submission of a map, locating the boundaries of the historic district. Board Member Pedro Sales (psales@anneslie.org) and his wife have applied for a recent project and have produced such a map that they are willing to share with anyone needing it.
