No. Only locally-designated historic districts are subject to local zoning ordinances and procedures that may include restrictions on use, maintenance, and/or alterations of private property. The process of designating a local district is entirely different from nominating a district to the Registers. Additionally, local designations often have an opt-out provision for property owners, whereas no such option exists when a district is nominated to the Registers. Such designation is entirely the purview of the local government. DHR has no involvement in designation of local historic districts. Listing of a historic district in the National Register and/or Virginia Landmarks Register does not automatically lead to local designation of the district.
