Does listing in the National Register protect my property during Federal or State projects?
Projects undertaken, funded, licensed, or permitted by Federal agencies are reviewed by the Preservation Office to determine if they will affect properties which are listed in the National Register or eligible for listing in the National Register. The Preservation Office also reviews projects undertaken, funded or licensed by State departments and agencies which may affect a property which is listed in the National Register. It is the responsibility of the Federal or State agencies to notify the Preservation Office of proposed projects. Ways are then discussed to protect the property or mitigate the effects of the project on it.
