Georgia Historic Rehabilitation State Income Tax Credit / Historic Home Credit

How it works

Georgia’s State Income Tax Credit Program for Rehabilitated Historic Property provides a state income tax credit for the certified rehabilitation of a historic home. DCA’s update says that beginning in 2026, principal residences certified as designated historic property or contributing to a district under local law and certified by DCA as meeting National Register criteria can apply for the historic home rehabilitation tax credit.

What the credit covers

The official pages shown here focus on historic rehabilitation, not wildfire hardening specifically. In practice, this can help homeowners improve and preserve an older home while doing eligible rehabilitation work. The surfaced text does not provide a wildfire-specific covered-work list.

Timing and deadlines

The DCA page says the tax credit program is available through the state tax incentive process and the update indicates principal residences become eligible beginning in 2026. The surfaced text does not show a separate annual application deadline. (dca.georgia.gov)
