Re: Green tax credits for builders and homeowners

Sixtoes47 You mean, that even if I am the GC, building my own new home, I won't qualify for the tax credits.

But if I purchase an older house and renovate the house, that I as an individual can use all the tax credits that I could qualify for. (Ref: Wtaergodess)

Then can Schmitty201 tell me how he worded his application for tax credits wrong....

I also aggree hiles8500, I live in Maryland also and the amount of credit or grants that they offer next to nothing. I think that cities like Austin are setting some good examples.

But, I as the person who wants to build a house with ICFs and SIPs, combined with PV and SHW for radiant floor heating.
should get grants and tax credits since I am the one who will be paying for the house over the next thirty years. Not to mention that there also should be extra credits or grants if you are a veteran. After all the Vet's risked their lives so that we here at home can enjoy the safe freedoms that we so dearly enjoy. Thanks. Can some one anwser some of my questions?
