Local Landmarking

The City of Sheboygan Historic Preservation Commission is currently reviewing potential properties listed in this survey within the City that may qualify for local landmarking designation.

Under the local landmarking designation, you may benefit from the following: improved property values of designated historic properties and properties within districts; increased private investments in downtown and neighborhood revitalization projects; development of community pride and commitment to community improvement; and an increased attractiveness to new businesses, new residents, and visitors. In addition, the entire community benefits from the knowledge, enjoyment and satisfaction associated with preserving and enhancing its historical heritage.

Look through the information below to learn more about the local landmarking process.
