What are the different levels of Preservation?
Federal-Buildings meeting strict historical criteria may be designated and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. State-Buildings may be designated by the state (if they meet criteria identical to the federal program); the state granted municipalities the authority to create ordinances for historic preservation in the Municipal Land Use Law. Local-Preservation authority resides in municpal ordiances.
