35 <br />NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY <br />STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE <br />NA770NAL REGISTER FACT SHEET <br />PROCEDURE FOR SUPPORTING OR OBJECTING TO <br />NATIONAL REGISTER LISTING <br />Under federal law a privately owned property may not be listed in the National Register over the objection of its owner <br />or, in the case of a property with multiple owners, over the objection of a majority of owners. A district may not be listed <br />in the National Register over the objection of a majority of owners of private property within the proposed district. <br />Supporting a National Register Nomination: <br />Private owners who seek National Register listing for their properties are not required to submit statements of <br />concurrence, though letters of support of the nomination are welcomed and become a permanent part of the nomination <br />file. Owners who wish to support are nomination are encouraged to submit letters of support to the State Historic <br />Preservation Officer prior to the National Register Advisory Committee meeting at which the nomination is to be <br />considered. <br />Objecting to a National Register Nomination: <br />Any owner or partial owner of a nominated private property who chooses to object to listing must submit to the State <br />Hista~ric Preservation Officer a notarized statement certifying that he or she is sole or partial owner of the private <br />property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of the property has one vote regardless of what part of <br />the property or how much property the individual owns. Owners who wish to object are encouraged to submit statements <br />of objection prior to the meeting of the National Register Advisory Committee at which the nomination is being <br />considered. However, statements of objection may be submitted and will be counted up until the actual date of listing, <br />which usually takes place at least 15 days but not more than 45 days after the nomination is mailed to the Keeper of the <br />National Register following the National Register Advisory Committee meeting. <br />If a majority of private property owners should object, the property or district will not be listed. However, in such cases <br />the State Historic Preservation Officer is required to submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register for a <br />determination of eligibility for the National Register. If the property or district is determined eligible for listing, <br />although not formally listed, it will be treated as a listed property or district for purposes of federal undertakings in the <br />environmental review process. Such properties are not eligible for federal preservation grants or tax credits until the <br />objections are withdrawn and the property is listed. <br />Address letters of support or objection to: <br />State Historic Preservation Officer <br />N.C.
