REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION AND SITE PLANS
The Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County cannot process an Application without re-
quired documentation. Comprehensive documentation provides a complete understanding of the project. Problems often
occur during a project review or during the execution of the project when the property owner, staff or commissioners are
unclear as to project specifics. Applications will NOT be processed without required documentation.
Photographs may be submitted in digital format or in photographic print. When a project involves blueprints and/or site
plans, one (1) set shall be submitted with the Application. Any documentation submitted to this office cannot be returned to
the applicant.
APPLICATION FEE
The application processing fee for any Application for a Certificate Of Appropriateness is $20
Payment must accompany the application at the time of submission. For an electronically submitted application, payment
must reach the HPC office within 48 hours following transmission. Payment can be made by credit card by contacting
Business License Administrator Michelle Adams at (574) 235-5912; by cash in person in the Department of Community
Investment on the 14th floor of the County City Building; or by check made out to City of South Bend.
Applications will NOT be processed without the required fee.
MEETING ATTENDANCE
When an Application has been scheduled for any meeting, the owner, architect or contractor(s) retained for the project shall
attend the meeting where their project will be reviewed and a decision rendered. Failure by the owner, architect, or contrac-
tor to attend such meetings may result in denial of the Application due to insufficient representation.
CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE
Certificates of Appropriateness will be filed with the Building Department of South Bend and St. Joseph County. A copy of
the Certificate will be emailed directly to the owner and/or contractor(s) listed on the application.
INSPECTION AUTHORITY
All projects will be inspected during and following execution for compliance with the decision(s) rendered by the Historic
Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County.
Owner acknowledges that while the Historic Preservation Commission only considers Certificates of Appropriateness for
exterior features, under certain circumstances it may be necessary for the Commission Staff to have access to the interior of
the building in order to accurately assess the condition of the exterior feature and that the lack of access to the interior may
prevent the Commission Staff from making a favorable recommendation.
Any work performed on a historic landmark or in an historic district which does not conform to the Certificate of
Appropriateness certificate shall be immediately halted by the Historic Preservation Commission and the Building
Department of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Fines may be levied for projects not in compliance.
