Historic Preservation
The City of Monticello's Historic District is the third oldest in the State of Florida and contains many structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a state-designated Certified Local Government, the City realizes its role in promoting historic preservation is significant. The seven-member City Historic Design Review Board is an advisory board which is responsible for making recommendations to the City Council on inclusion of historic properties into the designated district and nominations to the National Register, as well as reviewing applications for existing historic property structure alterations, proposed new development within the Historic District and proposed demolitions of historic district buildings.
