4292-463: The preservation of income-producing historic properties.

A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District , may qualify for tax incentives derived from

4514-498: The property more than a National Register listing does. The Department of Transportation Act , passed on October 15, 1966, the same day as the National Historic Preservation Act, included provisions that addressed historic preservation. The DOT Act is much more general than Section 106 NHPA in that it refers to properties other than those listed in the Register.

Until 1976, federal tax incentives were virtually non-existent for buildings on the National Register.
