Frequently Asked Questions for Property Owners
- Whom do I contact to see about heritage
designation or funding for my home or other
property?
Contact your local government, as heritage
designation is primarily a tool used by local governments
in British Columbia.
- What is the effect of heritage
designation on my property?
Once a property receives heritage
designation, it is protected, so future
alterations to the property require application
to the designating government for a permit.
- Why would I want my property to be
designated or listed on a heritage register?
Many property owners value heritage
designation or listing in a heritage register,
as it emphasizes the uniqueness and historic
significance of the property, and enables other
people in the community to appreciate its value.
