Preservation Agreements for New Bern Properties
The New Bern Preservation Foundation holds preservation easements, covenants, and related agreements on historic properties throughout New Bern. These recorded documents help protect important architectural features and establish responsibilities that continue when a property changes ownership.
The term “historic building” does not simply mean an old property. Preservation easements and covenants are not limited to grand or exceptionally old buildings. They may also protect modest properties that are architecturally distinctive, culturally significant, or connected to important people, events, neighborhoods, or aspects of New Bern’s history.
Use the property list below to view or download available easements, covenants, preservation agreements, deeds, and related records.
