News Regarding EnerGov and Permits Web Inquiry Function
1. To make it easier for everyone to check on the status of their plan submittal, permit status, or schedule of inspections we have reactivated “Permits Web Inquiry”
on the Department’s web page. You can find it
HERE.
Please feel free to go there and use it. It may look a bit different than the old page, but we hope you’ll find it an easy-to-use tool that will
answer some of your questions. Just like the former page you’ll be able to search the status of plans, permits, property maintenance cases, and inspections scheduled for that day.
We appreciate your patience and look forward to bringing you the full online plan submission, plan review, permitting and inspection scheduling
system as soon as we possibly can.
2. We are now accepting plan submittals on thumb drives. (Please note
the Commission of Architectural Review still requires 12 hard copies of all application submittal
materials as noted on the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness.) Please bring your plans to us on a thumb drive when you come in to apply for a permit and we’ll
upload it onto our system. Doing so will save you time, money, and provide for enhanced plan review.
The Richmond Commission of Architectural Review (CAR) was established by City
Council in 1957. The CAR is the city's official historic preservation body and is
charged with reviewing all exterior changes to structures within the city's Old
and Historic Districts and issuing Certificates of Appropriateness for those projects
that it deems to be appropriate.
The CAR bases all its decisions generally on the Secretary of the interior's Standards
for Rehabilitation and New Construction; and specifically on the Richmond Old & Historic Districts Handbook
and Design Review Guidelines (14 MB), adopted in 1999.
When a neighborhood organization or other applicable entity submits a nomination
request, the CAR oversees the process for designation of Old and Historic Districts
and makes a final recommendation for designation to City Council.
The CAR also assists and advises City Council, all city boards and departments,
and property owners in matters involving historic resources relating to appropriate
land use, zoning, and other issues.
Membership Composition
The CAR is composed of nine members appointed by City Council. Five of the members
are citizens-at-large while the remaining four are appointed from a list of nominees
from the Better Housing Coalition, the
The American Institute of Architects Richmond (Virginia)
Chapter , the
Historic Richmond Foundation, and the
Richmond Association of Realtors.
