Rule 261-49.9 - Who may apply for the tax credit

Only an eligible taxpayer as defined in rule 261-49.3 (404A) may apply for the tax credit. A nonprofit organization as defined in rule 261-49.3 (404A) may apply for the tax credit if the nonprofit organization is the fee simple owner of the property.

(1)Preliminary documentation. At the time a Part 1 application or Part 2 application is submitted, an applicant will be expected to provide preliminary documentation of the applicant's status as an eligible taxpayer.

a. An applicant that is the fee simple owner shall provide title documentation. If the title is held in the name of an entity, the applicant shall also provide documentation that indicates that the signatory is the authorized representative of the entity.

b. An applicant that is not the fee simple owner but plans to apply for the federal rehabilitation credit shall provide a copy of the approved federal Part 1 application, unless the property is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The applicant must also certify that the applicant plans to apply and expects to qualify for the federal credit. The applicant must obtain from the fee simple owner of the property a written statement that indicates that the owner is aware of the application and has no objection and include the statement with the application.

(2)Final documentation. At the time an eligible taxpayer enters an agreement with the authority pursuant to rule 261-49.12 (404A), the eligible taxpayer must provide documentation that the eligible taxpayer is a fee simple owner or has a binding qualified long-term lease that meets the requirements of the federal rehabilitation credit.

(3)Who may not apply. Governmental bodies as defined in Iowa Code section 362.2 may not apply.
