How to Get a Property Listed on the National Register of Historic Places Anyone can prepare a nomination to the National Register, but nominations are most often documented by property owners, local governments, citizens or state historic preservation office staff. Nominations are submitted to a state review board, which makes a recommendation to the state historic preservation officer (SHPO). The SHPO forwards recommended nominations to the National Park Service to be considered for registration if a majority of private property owners has not objected to listing. What Are the Criteria for Listing? The National Register's standards for evaluating properties review the significance to American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture present in nominated districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. How Old Does the Property Have to Be? Properties eligible for listing in the National Register are at least 50 years old. How Long Does It Take? Once the nomination form is fully documented and complete, the review and notification requirements process takes a minimum of 90 days. A decision on whether to list the property is made within 45 days of submission to the National Park Service. >Click here for more information.
