Department Overview

Michigan City’s Historic District regulations are designed to preserve the rich architectural heritage and unique character of our historic neighborhoods. These guidelines help protect buildings, structures, streetscapes, and landmarks that contribute to the city’s historical and cultural identity.

Any property located within the Historic District is subject to both standard zoning regulations and the additional requirements of the Historic District. These regulations ensure that new construction, renovations, or alterations maintain the architectural integrity and visual harmony of the area.
