All Projects must be carried out or supervised by a qualified professional with experience in the project’s associated field.
Rehabilitation Projects include: work on the resource exterior, including roofs and chimneys, walls, windows and doors, fire escapes, elevators, foundations and other exterior components.
Some proposed Rehabilitation Projects may be designated in a Local Historic District, and would require approval by the Kalamazoo Historic District Commission before a project can commence. Check for this requirement before submitting your application here.
“Use the Layers” drop down in the upper right and select “Historic Districts and Places” on the menu, and then go to the nearby “Legends” drop down to determine if your property is Locally designated. If it is, call the City’s Historic Preservation Coordinator to confirm and learn more at 269-337-8804.
Completed Rehabilitation Projects must meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Preservation Planning Projects include: Economic Feasibility Studies, Historic Building Condition Reports, preparing architectural rehabilitation plans for a project, National or Local Historic District study reports, under-represented communities surveys, designation nominations, and other planning activities as determined by the Committee.
If a planning project includes pre-rehabilitation studies or reports, recommended actions in the final study/report must also meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
