Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to outline the role of the local authority monument conservation officer and give a comparative analysis of agreements on the management of cases within the competence of the Pomeranian Monument Conservation officer dealt with by the local government structure of the City of Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia. The article begins with a discussion of the process of appointing the local authority monument conservation officer, the operating principles of the post, assessment procedures and main duties as determined in the 1996 Acts and those resulting from the officer’s own objectives. The agreements entered into are presented as the main tools of the local authorities, which should streamline and improve the supervision of monuments in a given commune. Next discussed are the legal grounds of such agreements followed by a detailed analysis of the most substantial differences which are the subject of further discussion. Additionally indicated are areas specific to the provincial monument conservation officer, despite their location in an area covered by a given commune. Final conclusions comment on the differences and, taking the above considerations into account, their application by local government monument conservation officers. The article concludes with a subjective evaluation of the office itself and its operation.
