How Does A Property Owner Know What Is Eligible?
• Buildings that are eligible for historic designation must be determined case-by-case and the current-moment basis, because buildings can age into eligibility, and may lose eligibility due to losses of integrity.
• Property owners and their agents may contact the City Historic Preservation Office to check the eligibility of a property at a given moment, and SHPO may be consulted or appealed to in order to confirm that eligibility.
• This approach is currently being used for the City’s Historic Landmark ordinance.
