Properties which qualify for designation as historic districts are geographically definable areas which contain buildings, structures, sites, objects, and landscape features, or a combination thereof, which:
- ​Have special character or special historic or aesthetic value or interest; or
- Represent one or more periods, styles or types of architecture typical of one or more eras in the history of the city, county, state or region; and
- Cause such areas by reason of such factors, to constitute a visibly perceptible section of the city.
The HPC reviews applications for Certificates of Appropriateness (COA) when a property owner proposes to make material changes to the appearance of an historic property within either of Covington’s historic districts.
