How does a property obtain local historic landmark status?
An owner who is interested in pursuing local landmark designation should contact Commission staff. There is a detailed application to complete and a $50.00 application fee. Once an application is complete, it is sent to the State Historic Preservation Office for comment. It then goes before the Commission for review at a public hearing, at which time the Commission makes a recommendation to the appropriate governing board. Finally, the governing board designates the landmark by adopting a designation ordinance for the property.
