Developers' housing tax credit extended to 2036

Developers and project sponsors can receive Maine Affordable Housing Income Tax Credit allocations through December 31, 2036. The annual pool is $10 million, and unused amounts and returned credits add to future years, but no more than $15 million can be allocated in any one year. No more than 20% of a year's credits may be allocated under paragraph B. Ten percent of credits first available each year are set aside for qualified rural development preservation projects and carry forward for that purpose; any of that set-aside not used by December 31, 2036 can be used without the rural requirement. After December 31, 2036, only credits that were carried forward or returned (not recaptured) may be allocated.
