SALT LAKE CITY HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION

The Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) reviews all applications for landmark sites, demolition and new construction within locally-designated historic districts. They do not review interior work or exterior paint color, only exterior alterations. The majority of the projects presented to the HLC are either approved as submitted or with modifications.

Interiors

The Historic Landmark Commission does not review interior work on landmark sites or buildings in historic districts. However, a building permit from the city is required for many interior renovation projects, including plumbing, mechanical and electrical work. Contact the Salt Lake City Permits and Licensing Division to verify if you need a building permit. Note that approvals for interior work may be required from the Utah Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for rehabilitation tax credit projects. Contact Utah Historic Preservation Office if you are seeking tax credits for your project.
