Designated by the Historic Preservation Commission, local historic landmarks are recognized for their significance with respect to the history, events, culture, economy, social fabric, ethnicity, architecture, archaeology or paleontology of the City, state or nation.
Landmarks are protected by city ordinances and a Certificate of Appropriateness must be obtained before any work can begin on any property that is designated as a Local Historic Landmark structure or any property located within a Historic Overlay District.
To apply for local historic landmark designation, property owners can contact the Planning and Zoning Department at 903-237-1072.
