0 3 The listing of a property in the National Register places no obligation or restriction on a private owner using private resources to maintain or alter the property . Over the years , various federal incentives have been introduced to assist private preservation initiatives . A private owner of a National Register property becomes obligated to follow federal preservation standards only if federal funding or licensing is used in work on the property, or if the owner seeks and receives a special benefit that derives from National Register designation, such as a grant or a tax credit .
