What are the advantages of owning property in a historic district or an individual landmark?
When you own property within a historic district, you have access to programs and architectural advice not available to other city residents. Included in your potential list of benefits are:

  • Access to Grapevine Township Revitalization Program Grants to revitalize the exterior of your historic home

  • Access to HUD loan programs, which will allow you to purchase and rehabilitate a historic home in one mortgage

  • Tax credits which allow (commercial) restoration or rehabilitation costs to be deducted from your income taxes

  • Access to free architectural design assistance for proposed modifications to historic buildings

  • Greater increased property values (as compared to other non historic properties in the city)
