What does My State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) do?
UpdatedYour State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), a state government office, is an invaluable source of information and should be contacted early in the planning process. The name and address of every SHPO is available on the National Trust's web site at http://www.preservationnation.org/contacts/. The SHPO has information on any applicable state and federal funding programs or tax incentives credits for income-producing buildings, general information on the preservation of historic buildings, and nomination forms and guidelines for the National Register of Historic Places.
