The Preservation League of NYS, in partnership with the State Historic Preservation Office, Preservation Studios, and the Landmark Society of Western NY, will be hosting a webinar about the NYS Historic Homeownership Tax Credit Program on Wednesday, September 24th at 5:30 p.m.

There are a few different ways you can use the National Register nomination for the Avon Village Historic District (https://www.villageofavonny.gov/s/AvonVillageHD_NRNomination.pdf) to check whether a property is both within the district and contributing—which is what determines eligibility for the NYS Historic Homeownership Tax Credit Program:

• Resource List (starting on p. 12): This section lists every property in the district and identifies whether it is “contributing” or “non-contributing.” Only those marked as contributing are eligible for the program. The list is organized alphabetically by street name, with even-numbered addresses first, followed by the odd-numbered addresses.

• District Boundary Map (p. 132): This page gives an overview of the entire district boundary, and shows parcel outlines.

• Detailed Maps (pp. 133–138): These close-up maps show the boundary in greater detail. Each property is keyed to indicate whether it is contributing or non-contributing.

Using the Resource List along with the maps should allow you to confirm both the location of the property within the district and its contributing status.
