HB 1572 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in historic preservation incentive tax credit, further providing for tax credit certificates.

HB 1572 modifies Pennsylvania's historic preservation tax credit program by setting new annual spending limits and allocation rules. It caps total annual tax credits at $20 million (excluding unused prior-year credits), limits credits to $1.5 million per project owner annually (up from $500,000), and requires equitable regional distribution of credits - reallocating unclaimed funds to other regions. The bill directly affects historic preservation project owners seeking tax credits for rehabilitation work. These changes apply to fiscal years starting July 1, 2025, and aim to manage program funding more systematically.
