Can private property be designated a Mississippi Landmark?
Yes. The law provides a process for the designation of private property at the request of the owner. Interested property owners must submit a notarized resolution requesting Mississippi Landmark designation, along with documentation of the historical or architectural significance of their property. Resloution forms can be obtained from the Division of Historic Preservation. The review process for publicly owned Mississippi Landmarks, as described above, applies to privately owned Mississippi Landmarks as well.
