A Certificate of Appropriateness is a permit issued by the Historic Preservation Subcommittee for any alteration, restoration, rehabilitation, addition, or relocation to any Eligible Historical Resource. Any Designated Historic Landmark or a contributing structure in a Designated Historic District requires review by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Certificate of Appropriateness is used to insure that any change made to a historical resource preserves the original character and architectural features of that property. The Historic Preservation Subcommittee reviews applications to determine whether or not the proposed changes are appropriate and maintain the original character and features of the historic resource. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before any other permits can be obtained.
