Counties may apply for funding for historic property acquisition, rehab, and surveys from the Maryland Historical Trust. 

The Historic Preservation Capital Grant Program promotes the acquisition, restoration, and rehabilitation of historic properties in Maryland. Eligible properties are listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as a contributing structure within a district.

According to the Maryland Historical Trust, the program has received an appropriation of $600,000 for FY2018 for grants of up to $100,000 per project per year. All applicants except for nonprofit organizations are required to provide a dollar-for-dollar match.

According to the Trust, eligible projects include:

  • Acquisition
  • Rehabilitation or restoration
  • Predevelopment costs such as studies, surveys, plans, and specifications, and architectural, engineering, or other special services directly related to pre-construction work for a capital project
