Listing in the State & National Register of Historic Places
 

Results & Owner Information

Listing in the National Register of Historic Places provides formal recognition of a property’s historical, architectural, or archeological significance based on national standards used by every state. Results include:

• Becoming part of the National Register Archives, a public, searchable database that provides a wealth of research information

• Encouraging preservation of historic resources by documenting a property’s historic significance.

• Providing opportunities for specific preservation incentives, such as:

• Federal preservation grants for planning and rehabilitation
• Federal investment tax credits
• Preservation easements to nonprofit organizations
• International Building Code fire and life safety code alternatives

• Possible State tax benefit and grant opportunities. Check with your State Historic Preservation Office for historic property incentives available within your state.

• Involvement from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation when a Federal agency project may affect historic property.

• Find out information on the care and maintenance of your historic property through various NPS Preservation Briefs and Tech Notes.

• Network with other historic property owners, tour historic areas, or chat with preservationists through Conferences, Workshops, and Preservation Organizations.

• Celebrate your listing by ordering a bronze plaque that distinguishes your property as listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Listing and Ownership

• National Register listing places no obligations on private property owners. There are no restrictions on the use, treatment, transfer, or disposition of private property.

• National Register listing does not lead to public acquisition or require public access.

• A property will not be listed if, for individual properties, the owner objects, or for districts, a majority of property owners object.

• National Register listing does not automatically invoke local historic district zoning or local landmark designation.

• Federal Regulation 36 CFR 60 authorizes the National Register of Historic Places.

• Contact your State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for any specific state rules or regulations
