Historic Review Certificate of Appropriateness
To determine if you need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA):
- Is the property in question in a Historic District?
If the answer is NO to the question above then you DO NOT need a COA.
If the answer was YES then: - Is this an ordinary maintenance repair of external architectural features or other improvement
project when that repair does not involve a change in design, appearance, or materials? - Is this an Impermanent or easily reversible alteration, such as storm windows, storm doors,
and window air conditioners? - Is this lawn and garden landscaping?
- Is this an Interior alteration?
If the answer to any of these questions was YES then you DO NOT need a COA.
If you are unsure or need any assistance in determining if you need a COA, contact the Zoning,
Building & Property Maintenance (ZBPM) Official by calling (276)988-2501 or emailing
