Historic Preservation
The City of Greeley Historic Preservation Office, housed in the Community Development Department/Planning Division, works with the public to further the preservation of historic resources through administration of the Greeley Historic Register, assisting property owners with National and/or State Register nominations, administration of incentives such as State Tax Credits and the Low Interest Loan Program, surveying historic areas to identify resources, public education about preservation, and provide staff assistance to the Greeley Historic Preservation Commission, established by City Council in 1995.
The mission of the Historic Preservation Commission is to identify, preserve and enhance Greeley’s historic resources. Through research, educational programs and economic incentives, the Commission will build upon public enthusiasm for the protection of the unique character of the community’s past and present for the future.
The Commission prepared the City's Historic Preservation Plan to assist citizens of Greeley in understanding and accessing information concerning historic preservation and its impact on the community. Historic Preservation is defined as the "stewardship of the important places from our past, including buildings, structures, sites, districts and landscapes."

Greeley Historic Register Designated Properties Information 1996-2008
Greeley has many old or historic properties, and often treatment to those properties is different than for new or recent construction. Not all old properties are historic or significant, but the same information can be applied to both. The goal of this brochure is to provide some basic information and tips about handling historic or old properties.
