Heritage Register

A community heritage register is an official listing of properties identified by a local government as having heritage value or heritage character. A Heritage Register includes properties that are heritage designated (through Bylaw) and non-heritage designated. This means, by itself a listing a property on the Heritage Register does not restrict any future actions proposed by an owner. A property listed on the Heritage Register does not have any formal protection and does not require the approval of City Council for alterations unless it is subject to a heritage designation bylaw or subject to a Heritage Revitalization Agreement. City staff are available to provide advice about proposed alterations to properties listed on the Heritage Register that may assist with conservation or enhancement of heritage features. 

The process for adding properties to the Maple Ridge Community Heritage Register (or deleting properties) is outlined in Maple Ridge Heritage Procedures Bylaw No. 6951-2012.

For more information on the purpose and benefits of a community heritage register, please see Heritage BC's  "Heritage Conservation: A Community Guide" and guide to Establishing Community Heritage Registers.
