Historic Districts and Building Rules

The City of Santa Fe has five designated historic districts: Downtown and Eastside, Don Gaspar Area, Westside-Guadalupe, Historic Transition and Historic Review. In these districts, exterior changes such as additions, windows, doors, stucco and rooftop equipment generally need approval from the city's Historic Preservation Division, and larger projects go to the Historic Districts Review Board. Ask about a property's historic status before you plan a remodel.
