Is being designated a City of Grapevine Historic District or Landmark different from being listed on the National Register of Historic Places?
Yes, The National Register of Historic Places is a list of buildings and sites of local, state or national importance. The program is administered by the National Park Service through the Texas Historical Commission. The National Register has no connection to the Historic Preservation Commission, although many of Grapevine's landmarks are also listed in the National Register. There is no review process for exterior changes to buildings in the National Register, unless the owner would like to take advantage of tax incentives made available through the Historic Preservation Tax Credits.
