What is the Historic Landmark Preservation Commission?
The Randolph County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission was established by Ordinance of the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. Through interlocal agreements, the Commission also serves as the advisory body to participating municipalities in Randolph County. The Commission has these main functions: • To make recommendations to local governing boards regarding designation of a property as a Local Landmark; • To approve or disapprove applications from property owners who wish to make changes to properties that have been locally designated as historic landmarks; • To advise and assist local governments in historic preservation planning; and • To issue or deny Certificates of Appropriateness for repair or other changes to Historic Landmarks. • A local governing board cannot designate a Local Historic Landmark unless it has first established a Historic Preservation Commission, or participates in an interlocal agreement with the Historic Landmark Preservation Commission.
