Individually Protected Property Area

In Charlottesville historic resources may be designated as part of a historic district, or may be individually designated. Individual properties are designated for protection through zoning because City Council has determined them to be of special historic, cultural, or architectural value. All Individually Protected Properties are subject to review by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) for any exterior changes including demolitions. This ensures a public notification and review process before changes can be made to a protected property. Individual historic properties may also be recognized on the Virginia Landmarks Register or the National Register of Historic Places. State or National designation is an honorary recognition that, unlike local designation, does not impose any review restrictions. A significant benefit of State or National designation is that such properties may qualify for income tax credits for rehabilitation work.在夏洛茨维尔，历史资源可被纳入历史街区进行保护，亦可单独认定保护。单独认定的历史建筑通过分区管制获得保护，原因在于市议会已判定其具备特殊的历史、文化或建筑价值。所有单独保护的历史建筑，其任何外部改动（包括拆除行为）均需接受建筑审查委员会（Board of Architectural Review，简称BAR）的审查。此举可确保在对受保护建筑进行改动前，完成公示与审查流程。单独认定的历史建筑亦可被纳入弗吉尼亚地标名录（Virginia Landmarks Register）或国家历史遗迹名录（National Register of Historic Places）。州级或国家级认定属于荣誉性认可，与本地认定不同，其不会施加任何审查限制。州级或国家级认定的一项重要益处在于，此类建筑的修缮工程可申请所得税抵免。
