Financial Assistance for Architectural Heritage
Financial assistance is provided to assist with the conservation and restoration of historic properties through schemes administered by the Architectural Conservation Office on behalf of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
Built Heritage Investment Scheme and Historic Structures Fund
The Built Heritage Investment Scheme 2020 (BHIS) is for the repair and conservation of structures that are protected under the Planning and Development Acts. This Scheme aims to support a significant number of labour-intensive, small-scale conservation projects across the county and to support the employment of skilled and experienced conservation professionals, craftspeople and tradespersons in the repair of the historic built environment. Mayo County Council is piloting a ‘micro’ grant scheme within the 2020 BHIS for works of routine maintenance and minor repairs.
