 Palos Park Historical Preservation
A property can be “un-designated” as historic under certain circumstances, such as when a building has ceased to meet the criteria for designation because the qualities that caused it to be originally designated have been lost or destroyed, or those qualities were lost subsequent to nomination, but before designation.
Municipalities and counties that have local historic preservation programs meeting certain standards may participate after they have been "certified." To become certified, a local government must have a historic preservation ordinance, establish a preservation review commission, have an active local survey program to identify historic resources, and provide for public participation.
The assessed valuation of the historic property is frozen for eight years at the level when renovation began and then is brought back to market level over four years.
