A review and update of the Historic District Standards and Certificate of Appropriateness process is now underway. Find out how you can participate in this project. 

There are three locally zoned historic districts in Greensboro: College Hill, Dunleath, and Fisher Park. Check out this interactive map of the districts.

In historic districts, a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) must be obtained before beginning work to the exterior of buildings or property. The COA ensures that the work meets Historic District Standards.

Minor work items such as exterior repairs, landscaping or building a fence or a back yard deck can usually be approved by City staff. Projects like new construction and additions or major alterations to buildings must be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission.

Here is a list of recent Certificate of Appropriateness applications.

Download the COA application form and instructions.
