The Historic Preservation Division through its state and federal partners offers financial incentives to survey, record and preserve historic and prehistoric resources throughout the state. Tax credits, historic preservation loans, Certified Local Government Funds and small grants programs are available to individuals, groups and communities.

Rehabilitation of historic structures and sites may qualify to participate in programs that credit a percentage of project costs against state and/or federal taxes. Using local lending institutions as a conduit, the Historic Preservation Revolving Loan fund lends money to approved preservation projects below the prime rate. Certified Local Governments receive funds to help community preservation efforts, such as establishing ordinances or initiating surveys. Individuals and organizations have received funds to assist in a variety of projects, a survey of archaeological site to research for a publication to the creation of an exhibition.
