Requesting approval from the Architectural Review Commission or the Barrio Latino Commission requires an application for a certificate of appropriateness. Requesting a designation requires approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. You may download the application forms, complete them and make an appointment with staff for submission by calling (813)274-3100, Option #3.
Many CA's can be issued by ARC/BLC staff, while others must be approved by the board at a public hearing. In addition to the application forms, the ARC and BLC Submission Requirements explains the forms and what is required for a public hearing. Also, look at the Fee Schedule (PDF) for the appropriate fees. These must be paid at the time of submission.
