Who determines if my property is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places?
The DHR, working with the applicable state or federal agency, reviews all inventory forms and determines eligibility. The DHR’s Determination of Eligibility (DOE) Committee evaluates inventory forms and resources at meetings twice a month. Staff reviewers need at least one week in advance of the meeting to review the research and prepare a determination. Written comments are mailed to the project’s lead federal agency and other participants shortly after the DOE meeting confirming eligibility status or requesting additional information.
