The National Register of Historic Places does not impose any regulations or restrictions on private property owners for buildings listed on the register, unless federal funds or permits are involved in a project affecting the property. Here are the key points regarding regulations for National Register-listed buildings:

• Listing on the National Register does not restrict a private property owner's ability to maintain, alter, renovate, sell or even demolish their property.

There are no federal restrictions unless federal funding or permitting is involved.

If a listed property is involved in a project that receives federal assistance, such as funding or licensing/permitting, then the project must undergo review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act to consider impacts and explore alternatives to avoid or mitigate adverse effects.

State and local governments may have their own regulations or design review processes for alterations to National Register properties, such as through local historic preservation ordinances or zoning laws.

These vary by jurisdiction.

Owners of income-producing National Register properties may be eligible for federal and state tax credits for qualified rehabilitation projects that follow preservation standards.

Listing does not automatically trigger local historic district designation, which often involves additional regulations. Local historic district status is determined separately by municipal governments.

• 
  

In summary, while National Register listing is an honorific recognition of a property's historic significance, it does not directly impose regulations on private owners unless federal involvement triggers Section 106 review. State and local regulations may apply, but vary based on location.
