Arizona Order For Historically Case Designation is a process used by the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office to recognize and protect historic properties. It is an administrative order issued by the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer (SHOO) that grants protection to a property that meets certain criteria. The order designates a property as being "historically significant" and sets out the legal protections in place for the property. There are three types of Arizona Order For Historically Case Designation: 1. State Register of Historic Places: This order recognizes a property as a "significant historic resource" and can be used as a basis for local governments to grant additional protection. 2. Local Register of Historic Places: This order recognizes a property as "significantly contributing to the historical and cultural heritage of the local community." 3. Preservation Easement: This order grants certain protections to a property, including limiting the scope of any physical changes that can be made to the property, in order to preserve its historic character.
