County Historic Landmark Program Fact Sheet

It is the intent of the Jefferson County Historical Commission (JCHC) to provide a mechanism whereby landmarks in Jefferson County identified by the JCHC as having historical or architectural significance may be preserved.

• The Landmark Program is a voluntary program
• The property owner must consent to nominate a Landmark to the program
• 50% of the property owners must consent to nominate a District to the program
• All Landmark and District nominations must meet one or more of the criteria for designation
• The Landmark Designation Committee (LDC) reviews the nominations and recommends approval or denial
• The JCHC authorizes the designation of the property after receiving a recommendation from the LDC
• The property owner(s) receive a Certificate of Designation for their Landmark or District
• An applicant may appeal any decision of the LDC to the JCHC by filing a written notice of appeal
• Alteration or demolition of an Historic Landmark or District may affect its status in the program
