Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act of 2025

This bill would create a federal income tax credit equal to 50 percent of what a taxpayer pays to find and reduce lead hazards in a home built before 1978. The credit would be capped at $3,000 per home per year for lead abatement work and $1,000 for interim lead control measures, with a lifetime cap of $4,000 per home, and these amounts would rise with inflation. Eligible costs include risk assessments, work by certified lead abatement supervisors or qualified contractors, cleanup and testing, and temporary relocation of residents. To claim the credit, the taxpayer must get written documentation from a certified inspector or risk assessor after the work is done. The credit would apply to costs paid after December 31, 2024, and before the end of 2028.
