City of Lambertville Historic Preservation Commission Permit Procedure
All properties located in the Central Business District (CBD) are required to obtain approval from the Historic Preservation Commission for any & all exterior modifications.
If you are unsure as to whether you are required to obtain approval, please feel free to contact Crystal Lawton, the Commission Secretary, at (609) 397-0803.
Although you are not required to attend the Historic Preservation Commission meetings for your application, it is strongly recommended that you do, either in person or by authorized representative. If you are in attendance and the board members have any questions, they can be addressed immediately.
If the Commission can not act on your application or imposes conditions with which you disagree with, you must appear at the next meeting of the Commission to state your case. No application will be expedited.
If modifications are completed prior to the approval of the Historic Preservation Commission, you will be subject to a penalty and may have to remove the changes that have been done.
All applications should include color copies of the proposed work, drawings, before and after pictures, sell sheets, catalogue copies and samples of proposed hardware, roofing, siding & windows. This will help the board in understanding your intended changes. Please provide seven copies of all documents submitted. Only one copy needs to be in color
