    Phoenix Historic Property Register

    Established in 1986, the Phoenix Historic Property Register is the City's official listing of the historic and prehistoric properties that have been deemed worthy of preservation. The register recognizes buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts significant in local, regional, state or national history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture. Properties are listed on the register by being rezoned with an Histo​ric Preservation (HP) zoning overlay. Once listed, properties are protected from demolition and other adverse alterations through a special development review process. Listed properties are also eligible to receive city incentives to assist with rehabilitation.

    Eligible properties in Phoenix may be listed on two different historic registers - the Phoenix Historic Property Register​ and the National Register of Historic Places.​ Although the process for listing properties differs for each register, the eligibility criteria​ are the same.
