Vienna Historic Preservation Commission

The Vienna Historic
Preservation Commission was established by the City of Vienna in 2003, followed
by the designation of the Vienna Central Historic District. The Commission reviews applications
for Certificates of Appropriateness (COA) and grants or denies
them in accordance with the provisions of the Historic Preservation
Ordinance and the Vienna Central Historic District Design
Guidelines. These guidelines are in reference to major exterior
alterations that change the entire appearance of a historic structure. A COA is
also required for new construction, demolition, secondary buildings, and
erecting a sign or a fence. Guidelines
have nothing at all to do with general repairs, color choice, or interior
changes.
The purpose of the ordinance and review is to preserve the
integrity and character of the City’s historic resources that are our most
valued and important assets. All owners
or occupants of properties in the Vienna Central Historic District are required
to obtain a COA before making any exterior changes to their
property. The boundaries of Vienna's
Central Historic District are defined in the City’s ordinance. There is also a Central Historic
District Map provided. Applications can be picked up at the Community Development Office
located in the Vienna Heritage House at 110 East Union Street. The Commission meets monthly and all
meetings are open to the public. If you
have questions related to your property, contact the Community Development
Office.
