Vogt, director of the State Historical Society, headquartered at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre. “Property tax assessments may not be increased due to certified rehabilitation of the building. The property tax moratorium is an incentive for owners of properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places to maintain and rehabilitate their homes and businesses.” One of the criteria for the approval was that the projects meet the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Of the 15 properties receiving the moratorium, four are private residences and 11 are or will be income-producing properties. Investment per project ranged from $4,405 to $6 million. Private investments totaled approximately $7.9 million. The deadline for applications is Nov. 1 annually. For more information on how to qualify for the state historic preservation property tax moratorium, contact the State Historic Preservation Office at the Cultural Heritage Center, 900 Governors Drive, Pierre, SD 57501-2217; telephone 605-773-3458; or see history.sd.gov/preservation/fundingopportunities.aspx.
