What doesn a National Register Listing do?
National Register listing does not prevent the owner of the listed property from remodeling, repairing, altering, selling, or even demolishing it with other than federal funds. While property owners are not bound by restrictions, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office strongly encourages owners of historic properties to consider all options before completing work that could damage the structure or impair its historic integrity. The Ohio Historic Preservation Office, upon request, provides information on how to sensitively rehabilitate and repair historic properties. National Register listing does not obligate an owner to make any repairs or improvements to the property.
