Historic Districts: 15 Frequently Asked Questions, Part 10

Q. What is the procedure if I want to demolish a building on my property?
A. You must give the Historic Preservation Commission written notice of any proposed demolition. This serves to provide time for the Commission to find a way to save the building if it is significant. (If the building is not significant, the Commission may permit immediate demolition.) If, within the authorized period of delay, the Commission cannot find an alternative solution satisfactory to you, a record of the historic building and its setting is submitted to the Commission, and you may remove the structure.
