PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS:
Properties within one of the eight Muskegon Historic Districts are subject to the 1973 Muskegon
Historic District Ordinance (Chapter 11, Sections 1-36 of the Code of Ordinances). The purpose of
the ordinance is to preserve and protect our historic resource. The Historic District Commission
(HDC) is established by the Ordinance, and has the authority to review and approve all work permit
applications and plans for exterior property improvements within these districts. Regular building
maintenance is permitted and encouraged; however, a work permit is required for all alterations,
significant repairs, new construction, demolition, moving of buildings, and all other activities
affecting the exterior appearance of buildings and properties within these districts. Please consult the
HDC guidelines for specific details on permissible work.
This application must be received by the Planning Department no less than 13 days prior to regularly
scheduled monthly HDC meeting. The meeting is held every first Tuesday of the month at 4:00 p.m.
in the Commission Chambers, City Hall. Applicants are strongly encouraged to conduct a
preliminary discussion with staff and attend the meeting to explain the proposed work.
The following information should be included with this application. Additional information
may be requested.
Current photo of the structure as seen from the street and where proposed work is to take place.
Sketch, drawing or plans and/or elevations of proposed work. Provide dimensions and where
this work is in relation to the main structure.
Drawings to show details and specifications of ornamental features.
Where appropriate, plan showing property lines for fencing, projected view of structure for
signs, perspective drawing for new additions, etc.
