Meeting Notes
Tax Credits for Architects for Design of Government Owned Buildings:
Architects or designers may be entitled to a federal tax incentive recently extended by Congress. Under the tax code, architects who have implemented energy efficient designs for government owned buildings, such as public schools, airports, courthouses, libraries and student housing, are eligible to receive a tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot. For example, if you designed an eligible building that is 100,000 SF, you will receive up to $180,000 of federal tax deductions, even though you have no basis in the property. Architects can also retroactively claim any missed deductions on buildings designed since 2006.
