The Tucson Historic Preservation Office works closely with City departments to assess, document, and appropriately treat significant archaeological sites and historic buildings affected by City projects. It also works with the Tucson-Pima County Historical Commission to review demolition requests and proposed exterior alterations to historic buildings, assists with National Register nominations for neighborhoods and property owners that meet certain criteria, and jointly administers Pima County Historic Preservation Bond projects within the City. The Historic Preservation Office also provides training and information on historic preservation laws, compliance procedures, rehabilitation standards, and financial incentives, and it conducts educational outreach to strengthen community appreciation of Tucson’s rich heritage and historic resources.

Tucson is one of America’s oldest communities with over 4,000 years of human occupation. Our historic buildings, neighborhoods and streetscapes represent many historical periods and feature diverse architectural styles. There are currently 21 National Register Historic Districts within City limits, including over 5,700 contributing properties, 71 structures significant enough to be individually listed, and 6 local Historic Preservation Zones. City-owned parcels contain over 500 archaeological sites, and a variety of historic properties such as Fort Lowell Park, the Southern Pacific Train Depot, The Tucson Children’s Museum, and several Toole Avenue warehouses. In addition, the City has developed two cultural resource parks which contain significant archaeological resources - Vista del Rio and Julian Wash. The recently reconstructed northeast corner and tower of the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson is the newest downtown park, and the Spanish Period mission and mission garden will soon be reconstructed at Tucson Origins Heritage Park.
