A lot. This is in the form of deed restrictions disallowing you from modifying your property unless it is being done for its "historic value". You really should avoid doing anything to anger whoever regulates that, whether it be your neighborhood or city council, as they can use the power of eminent domain to seize your property and pay you the minimum required by law. Many government and state agencies have this power.

Consider this. This Old House TV show tried to do something that was against the Historical Registry and found themselves on the short end. And you know they have HUGE lawyers.

Depends on where you live. Law is geography-sensitive.
