FAQ
What is historic designation and how does it affect renovation?
Locally designated historic properties in South Florida, including districts in Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and the Town of Palm Beach, require review of exterior work by a preservation board before permits are issued. The scope of review varies by jurisdiction but typically covers massing, materials, fenestration, and any change visible from the public right-of-way. Interior work is generally not reviewed unless the interior is separately designated.
