Submit Properties for National Register Nomination

The National Register Application form allows you to submit information about an individual property (such as a building) or a historic district proposed for nomination to the New York State Register and National Register of Historic Places.

National Register projects are reviewed by members of the Survey and National Register Unit. Please visit SHPO’s Contact page for more information about this unit and a list of specific reviewers.

Note: Before submitting this information, SHPO strongly recommends that you contact the Survey and National Register Unit reviewer for the county in which the property resides. The reviewer will evaluate the specific details of the property in question to determine whether it is eligible for nomination. If so, the reviewer will discuss the nomination process with you and advise you on how to prepare a draft National Register nomination. The completed nomination form will be sent to the New York State Board for Historic Preservation and the National Park Service.
