The Income Tax Credit for Retrofitting Home for Health bills (HB18-1267, HB19-1135 and SB23-196)

created a state income tax credit to help people with an illness, impairment or disability retrofit their residence for greater accessibility and independence. It allows for up to a $5,000 non-refundable tax credit per person in the family with a disability or impairment. The credit is available for home modifications completed in tax years 2019 through 2028. The credit can be utilized for up to eight years from the tax year in which the home modification was completed, or until the amount of the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first.

Changes made to the residence may include, but are not limited to:

  • Installing or building ramps

  • Modifying bathrooms

  • Installing grab-bars

  • Widening doorways

  • Modifying kitchen facilities

  • Installing specialized electric and plumbing systems that are necessary to accommodate medically necessary equipment and supplies

  • Cognitive or sensory adaptations: Security fencing for individuals with dementia, noise-dampening renovations for people with autism, or protective padding for those with impaired vision

Program Guidelines

Historic Preservation & Planning Coordinator (719) 689-3588 x3,  J. Lynn Lyons

Historic Preservation | Cripple Creek, CO

Approval passed to modifying eligibility criteria for Historic Preservation Grants, J. Lynn Lyons, Historic

Preservation Coordinator. There are two types of HPC grants: residential and commercial. About 20

years ago, the residential lifetime limit was set to a $50,000 lifetime cap, with a $10,000 annual cap. It is also proposed to increase the owner’s match from 10% to 30%. These changes will help open up grants to places that have already reached their lifetime limit.

HPC also proposes adding a step in the application process that addresses homeowners’ insurance so

that we are not the first line of defense. As an example, HPC would assist with a large deductible on a

roof instead of shouldering the entire amount.
