PRESERVATION
For almost 40 years, Historic City of Jefferson has been working to protect our community's historic buildings.
We have a variety of resources available to help individuals wishing to purchase their first historic home as well as for current historic homeowners who have questions.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A HISTORIC BUILDING?
In Jefferson City, a historic building is typically defined as any building 100 years or older. However, there are exceptions to this. For example, a 80 year old building located in a Historic District is often thought of as historic. Additionally, the building's history must be taken into account.
WHAT ARE HISTORIC TAX CREDITS?
The Historic Tax Credit (HTC) is a proven tax incentive for both revitalizing historic community assets and supporting economic development and recovery. Since 1977, the program's accomplishments include $181 billion in estimated investment, 46,000 certified rehabilitation projects, 2.9+ million jobs supported, and 178,000+ units of low- and moderate-income housing units created.
Historic tax credit projects increase property values, draw new businesses, attract new residents, and enlarge the tax base.
