CONSIDERING EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS? START HERE.
We have created these helpful videos to explain the step-by-step process for obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the City of Jacksonville, as well as how to figure out if your home is in the historic district.
While we are not responsible for policing or approving exterior renovations in the Riverside Avondale district, we are your resource for understanding the historic district guidelines and what steps must be taken to receive a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the City of Jacksonville.
