Listing a Property in Wyoming
National Register nominations for Wyoming properties are processed by the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office, the state historic preservation office, which reviews nominations before forwarding them to the National Park Service. Listing is largely an honorary designation: it provides recognition and makes owners eligible for federal historic preservation tax incentives, but it does not by itself prevent an owner from altering or demolishing a property with private funds.
