HPC approval through a Certificate of Appropriateness must be received before making changes in the appearance of property  located in the historic district.  Changes include: demolition/relocation; rehabilitation, additions or new construction to  structures, walls, fences, steps or landscape.  Routine maintenance requires an administrative approval rather than a Certificate of Appropriateness.  Online application forms are found at the following website: http://www.albanyga.gov/about-us/city-departments/planning-development/boards/historic-preservation-commissionFor more information, contact Planning & Development Services at 240 Pine Avenue, Suite 300, 229-438-3900.
