Historic Preservation in Boulder

The Historic Preservation program helps preserve the community's unique heritage, culture, and character by protecting buildings and sites that are reminiscent of Boulder's past. Community interest in preservation has resulted in more than 1,300 designated historic properties in Boulder, including more than 200 individual landmarks and 10 historic districts.

Learn more about the Historic Preservation division's work, and the associated boards and commissions, committees and groups in the About section, and see the Historic Preservation Frequently Asked Questions for answers to general questions.

Historic Preservation Process Improvements

The city is exploring expanding the types of projects that can be reviewed by city Historic Preservation staff and extend the time for initial review and project approval. These changes would increase the efficiency and flexibility in the review process and provide greater predictability for applicants.
