Historic Districts: 15 Frequently Asked Questions, Part 6

Q. Do all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness require action by the Historic Preservation Commission?

A. No. Applications for minor work may be approved by the Zoning Enforcement Officer. Examples of minor work include replacement of roof coverings and guttering with like or similar materials; and minor changes not visible from the street, such as construction of side and rear yard fences and walls, installation of mechanical equipment or antenna and satellite dishes, installation or replacement of storm windows and doors, and other minor construction.

Highlights From the June Meeting

Funding for additional signage within Historic Districts has been raised. With money from District residents, PACE, and the Historic Commission street signs will have additional markings further identifying the district.

The Thomasville Historic Preservation Commission will sponsor a training seminar later this year for local real estate agents. Agents from the Thomasville, High Point, and Lexington area will be invited to the half-day event designed to assist them in properly informing clients what it means to live in a Historic District.
