Require historic evaluation before demolishing buildings over 50 years old
In Plain English
Currently, property owners can demolish older buildings without checking if they have historic value. If approved, owners must get a historic evaluation before tearing down any structure built before 1974. The law also renames the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee to Historic Preservation Commission.
