LOCAL LANDMARK REPORTS & PERMIT REVIEWS
Landmark designation for a historic property or district is administered at a local municipal level if the municipality has a historic preservation ordinance. These ordinances vary and are specific to each community. In some locations, including the City of Chicago, the ordinance requires that any proposed alteration, demolition, or new construction affecting landmarked properties be reviewed and approved by the Landmarks Commission as part of the permit review process.
Some municipalities offer incentive programs for the rehabilitation of landmarked properties. One example in Illinois is the Cook County Class “L” Property Tax Incentive, which provides a 12-year property tax assessment reduction for commercial, industrial, and income-producing not-for-profit buildings to owners who invest at least half the building’s valuation in an approved rehab project.
