A Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) is required for work that
would change the exterior appearance of a designated historic property.
This includes alterations, additions, new construction, or demolition. Minor
improvements, such as painting or window replacement, may be approved by
City staff upon submission of a COA application. More extensive work requires
review by the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB). Review
insures that any proposed changes are compatible with the character of the
individual property and/or historic district.

appropriate treatments for alterations, additions, and new construction.
