National Register Guide, Episode 14: Possible Outcomes of a Nomination

Possible Outcomes of a Nomination

As fantastic as it is, the National Register of Historic Places can get a little confusing—even for a seasoned pro. But fear not, because the National Trust teamed up with Jim Gabbert, a historian with the National Park Service, to create our National Register of Historic Places Guide.

Episode 14 explores the possible outcomes of your nomination once it is examined by the National Park Service’s National Register team.

This episode answers specific questions such as:

  • How long does it take the National Register team to take action on my nomination?
  • What are the possible outcomes for my nomination?
  • Is it possible for my nomination to be rejected?
  • What happens if owners of a property oppose its nomination?

We hope you enjoy the show.
