Do all the Parts of the application have to be
submitted together or should they be submitted separately?
Answer
The Part 1 must always be submitted before the Part 3 Request
for Certification of Completed Work. It is very important
that the guidance provided here be followed.
Part 1 may
be sent first separately or together with Part 2. (If the property consists of a single building and is already individually listed in the National Register of Historic
Places, it is automatically a “certified historic structure” and no Part 1 is needed.)
Part
2 cannot be reviewed until the Part 1 has been received and reviewed by the SHPO and the NPS.
Applicants
are strongly encouraged to submit Part 1 and Part 2 of the application
describing the proposed work, and receive approval from the NPS
prior to the start of construction. Owners who undertake rehabilitation
projects without prior approval of the NPS do so at their own risk.
If
changes are made to a project at any time after the Part 2 application
has been approved by the NPS, a Continuation/Amendment Sheet describing
the changes must be submitted and approved by the NPS.
Part
1 must be submitted and the property must be a “certified
historic structure” prior to completion of work and submission
of a Part 3 Request for Certification of Completed Work. If work
is completed prior to submission of a Part 1 application form, the rehabilitation
project will not be eligible to receive the 20% tax credit.
Part
3 is submitted when the project is completed.
