Notice Regarding Historic Properties Open Houses
Senate Bill 192 that was passed during the 2009 Legislative Session contained revisions to the Special Assessment of Historic Property tax benefit program. One of those revisions in the bill was the elimination of the open house requirement, therefore, we will no longer be posting a monthly open house list.
