What is a local historic landmark?

A local historic landmark is an individual property, which may be a building, structure, site, area, sign or other object, that has been designated as historic by the appropriate governing board because the property has a special character, historic or aesthetic interest, or value. Landmark designation signifies recognition that the property is important to the heritage and character of the community and that its protection enriches all the community’s residents. Generally, a property must be 50 years old to qualify for local historic landmark designation, although there are exceptions for properties with special significance.
