Frequently Asked Questions for Property Owners
- Whom do I contact to see about heritage designation or funding for my home or other property?

- 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.
