Tax Credit for Contractors, Builders & Property Owners
Tax Credit for Contractors, Builders & Property Owners
Builders and contractors involved in constructing or renovating energy-efficient homes can benefit from the 45L Energy Efficient Home Credit. This tax incentive encourages residential buildings to meet the Department of Energy’s standards for energy efficiency.
Under 45L, qualifying builders who adhere to their state’s prevailing wage regulations can receive up to $2,500 per unit for properties certified with Energy Star, or $5,000 per unit for those meeting Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH) criteria. This incentive is particularly advantageous for developers of multifamily homes, with each eligible unit potentially earning additional credits.
To qualify, contractors and builders must own and have a financial stake in the qualified energy-efficient home during its construction phase.
