Are there restrictions involved in owning property in a historic district?
Yes. Property owners in a district must have all work to the exterior of their property approved by the City’s Review Boards before they begin work. This includes work to the exterior of all buildings on the property (whether old or new), and amenities, such as fences, drives, etc. Guidelines are available on-line for work to property in the historic districts, also for new construction, work to commercial buildings, and for signage in the district.
