Property-owner awareness of historic district rules
Summary
Board members heard that many buyers and owners don't know they're in the historic district until a permit gets flagged — and realtors may not disclose it. The board wants to revive a friendly mailed notice to all historic-district property owners (last done ~10 years ago), possibly every two years, and to push for prominent historic-district labeling on the county property appraiser's website.

Impact analysis
Mailing notices to every historic-district property owner would cost money — the city clerk's office historically pushed back, but members called it worth it.
Historic-district homeowners and buyers, who would learn their obligations before starting unpermitted work.
None identified, though past city managers and mayors halted the mailings as wasteful.
