Q. If there has been previous work done on my house that is not in compliance with Historic Design Guidelines, will I be required to change anything?
A. This is an excellent question. The answer is no. The Historic District Ordinance is triggered only when an exterior change is going to occur. The ordinance is not “retroactive,” a common misconception.
