What are the benefits of historic site designation?
Historic site designation provides a property with a layer of protection which is intended to preserve the integrity of the building and land (if applicable). Designation status fosters civic character to safeguard Bel Air’s historic and cultural heritage. Properties which are designated also typically enjoy higher property values. Owners of local historic properties are eligible to receive local Bel Air tax credits for exterior improvements.
