Historical Districts

Major Benefits of Historical Districts

The purpose of a historical district is to empower local decision-making, maintain the appearance of key structures, and preserve the integrity of a specified area.

The National Historic Preservation Act authorizes resources, personnel, and funding to preserve historically significant properties.

The Florida Division of Historical Resources 
is responsible for state policy and programs that assist local governments in securing grants and funding to preserve important historical areas and properties.

Florida law such as Section 125.01 give local governments the ability to designate districts and structures as historic and protect them. This normally occurs through the appointment of at least five members as part of the Preservation Board. 

These boards may form as zoning district giving them the ability to control land usage and decide on any alteration of structures.

They may also qualify historical properties and areas for property tax exemptions (Sections 196.1961 and 196.1997, Florida Statutes).
