AB 375 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: modifications to the historic rehabilitation tax credit. (FE)

AB 375 modifies Wisconsin's historic rehabilitation tax credit program. It extends the credit to cover rehabilitation work completed after 2025, maintaining a 20% credit on qualified rehabilitation costs (minimum $50,000) for certified historic structures and qualified rehabilitated buildings. The bill adds new certification requirements through the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and allows taxpayers to transfer unused credits to other entities subject to state taxes. This directly affects property owners and developers who rehabilitate historic buildings in Wisconsin, providing them with a tax incentive for such projects. The changes align Wisconsin's credit with federal rules while updating eligibility and claim procedures.
