Identifying and designating properties of major significance encourages
the preservation and protection of Miami's important historic, architectural,
and archeological resources. The City of Miami's Historic Preservation (HP)
Ordinance provides a process by which individual sites, historic districts,
and archeological zones can be officially recognized.
Within the City of Miami, there are almost 100 designated historic sites,
districts and archeological zones. These designated properties include individual
sites, such as private homes, schools, fire stations, churches, municipal
buildings, bridges, and a cemetery, as well as the Morningside, South River
Drive, Buena Vista East, Bayside, and Spring Garden Historic Districts.
The links to the left provide information regarding the process for the
designation of significant
properties; a PDF of the HP Ordinance
(requires Adobe

Asked Questions (FAQ) about designations and the effects of designation.
