What is the Mills Act Program?

Q: What is the Mills Act Program?
A: Economic incentives foster the preservation of residential neighborhoods and the revitalization of downtown commercial districts. The Mills Act is the single most important economic incentive program in California for the restoration and preservation of qualified historic buildings by private property owners.  Enacted in 1972, the Mills Act legislation grants participating local governments (cities and counties) the authority to enter into contracts with owners of qualified historic properties who actively participate in the restoration and maintenance of their historic properties while receiving property tax relief.

Mills Act participants can realize very fruitful property tax savings each year for recently improved or purchased old properties because the valuation of a Mills Act property is determined by the Income Approach to Value rather and not by the common Market approach to calculating the appraised value. The Income Approach, divided by a capitalization rate, gives the assessed value of the property. Generally, the income potential for an owner-occupied residential property is calculated by looking at rental rates for comparable nearby properties, while the income from a commercial property is based on actual rent received. Because rental values vary greatly, the actual Mills Act historic property tax savings may vary.
