According to the Sun-Sentinel, if the
City council approves a new ordinance, owners of designated historic homes
would not have to pay city or country taxes for 10 years on any value added
improvements. 
Federal funds amounting to $100,000
are being distributed throughout Florida to help preserve historic homes and
neighborhoods, and with this ordinance in place, Boca can get some of these
funds.
Ten counties and 53 other
municipalities have joined this effort, including Delray Beach and Boynton
Beach.
Cost of getting a Boca Raton
property declared historic by City Council is $1500. The designation means the city’s Historic Preservation
Board will review proposed changes a homeowner wants to make.
If you have a historic home to sell, or are looking to purchase one, perhaps I can be of help as a Realtor.
