Thomasville Gains Two New Local Historic Landmarks

On Monday September 17 the Thomasville City Council adopted two ordinances designating the former City Hall and former City Memorial Hospital as Local Historic Landmarks. As a Local Landmark these properties now fall under the same design guidelines as properties in a Historic District. No additional maintenance is required beyond minimum standards in current ordinance code. Private property owners of Local Historic Landmarks receive a 50% reduction in property tax liability in exchange for the upkeep of the property as a Historic Landmark. Property owners are not required to remove current additions or restore the property to a previous state.
