Declaration of Location forms (State Historic Tax Credit Program)

Beginning on January 17, 2023, HDC staff will review "Declaration of Location" forms required for application to the Michigan State Historic Tax Credit Program.

Declaration of Locations forms attest to the "contributing" or "non-contributing" status of properties within local historic districts. The vast majority of properties are contributing, but occasionally newer buildings, or buildings that have lost their architectural integrity, are determined to be non-contributing. Staff can only complete Declaration forms for "contributing" properties.

Forms must be emailed to [email protected] with sections 1 through 3 filled out. Staff will review forms in the order they are received. If the property is determined to be contributing, we will complete section 4 and return the finalized form to you via email.
