Historic District Commission

The Historic District Commission, established by Chapter 13 of the City Code, consists of seven Troy residents. The Commission includes at least two persons chosen from a list submitted by the Troy Historical Society, one person nominated by the Troy Historical Commission, and one architect duly registered in the State of Michigan. Commissioners are appointed by the City Council for three-year terms. The Commission must formulate a researched survey of each historical structure under Chapter 13, using the Michigan Historical Site Survey form as a guide, and accepting the work of interested volunteers. Site surveys should be kept as a part of the permanent records of the Commission at a place designated by the Commission. Using the list of structures prepared by the Historic Site Preservation Study Committee, and/or any other sites or structures brought to its attention, the Commission may recommend to the City Council that certain sites or structures be added to or deleted from the Historic Districts. Prior to taking action to amend Chapter 13 by the addition of a Historic District, the City Council shall first obtain a report and recommendation from the City Planning Commission. City Liaison: Museum Manager, 248.524.3570. Meetings: 3rd Tuesday of each month, 7:30 pm; except July & August at the Troy Museum.
