NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC
PLACES
NOMINATION
PROCEDURE
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF STATE - Kurt S. Browning - SECRETARY OF STATE
The National Register of Historic Places is an official listing
of sites and properties throughout the country that reflect the
prehistoric occupation and historical development of our nation,
states, and local communities. It is maintained by the Keeper of the
National Register, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the
Interior.
The nomination of historic resources in Florida for listing in
the National Register is a function of the State Historic
Preservation Officer, Florida Division of Historical Resources.
Anyone interested in having a particular property listed may submit
a nomination proposal to the State Historic Preservation Office. The
nomination proposal must meet National Register standards. It is the
responsibility of the person submitting the proposal to provide the
necessary information and materials. The staff of the Division is
available for consultation on preparation of proposals.
Upon receipt of a nomination proposal, the following procedures
will be carried out.
- The nomination proposal and all
accompanying documentation will be evaluated by the professional
staff of the Historic Preservation. If possible, a staff
member will visit the site as a part of the evaluation process.
- The owner(s) of the property and the chief
local elected officials will be notified in writing that the
property is being proposed for nomination and given the
opportunity to comment on the property.
- The proposal will be submitted for
consideration and recommendation by the Florida National Register
Review Board which is charged with reviewing all nomination
proposals to the National Register of Historic Places from the
State of Florida.
- Upon the favorable recommendation of the
Review Board, a formal nomination will be prepared for the
submission by the State Historic Preservation Officer to the
Keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C. Special
procedures also exist for processing proposals when the Board and
the State Historic Preservation Officer do not agree on the
eligibility of the property for listing.
- The Keeper of the National Register and
his staff undertake the final review and make the final decision
whether or not to list the property. If the owner of a private
property objects to the nomination, the property will not be
listed, but the site may be submitted to the Keeper of the
National Register for a formal determination of eligibility for
listing.
- The owner is then notified in writing as to the final
decision.
