Do I need a Certificate of Appropriateness?
All new visible construction within Old Town requires a COA from the Historic Preservation Commission. New construction is subject to the architectural guidelines in the Old Town Master Plan and the standards of the SmartCode. Fences are considered new construction and therefore require a COA, with the exception of certain fence types in the OT-3 district. (See Map) Exterior changes to contributing structures, including new doors, window shutters, awnings, and railings, also require HPC approval.
Paint colors should be chosen from the approved list of historically appropriate paint colors. This list is provided by Benjamin Moore, but other brands may be used provided they match the approved list.
COA applications and approved fence types in OT-3 can be found here.
Changes that do not require HPC approval include:
- Exterior changes to non-contributing structures
- Small, minor building or construction not visible to the public eye
- Fences meeting pre-approved material and height specifications on properties within the OT-3 district
- Temporary construction trailers for the use of on-site material storage during construction
- Changes in paint color. Paint colors should be chosen from the approved list of historically appropriate paint colors. This list is provided by Benjamin Moore, but other brands may be used provided they match the approved list.
- Ordinary maintenance and repair that does not involve changes in dimension, material, configuration, or outward appearance
- Work that is required for a property to come into compliance with federal and state laws pertaining to persons with disabilities
