Q. I've heard there are controls on what can be done to the properties in a Historic District. Am I going to have to ask someone before I repaint my house?
A. No. There are controls to help maintain the special character and qualities of a Historic District. The Historic Preservation Commission must issue a Certificate of Appropriateness, based upon local Design Guidelines, before buildings or their appurtenant fixtures may be constructed, altered, demolished, or reconstructed. But if you use the same or similar color of paint no permission is required to repaint your house. It is assumed that people will continue to exercise the same good taste they have shown in the past. The Commission is available to advise those desiring assistance.
