Architectural Review & Historic Preservation is part of the Development & Growth Management Department.       

Historic Preservation is responsible for maintaining the integrity of local historic districts, local historic landmarks, and preserving contributing structures by ensuring that any changes to these structures are implemented in a manner that is architecturally appropriate.  In addition, Historic Preservation provides stewardship for Tampa's historic buildings, sites, and recognition of individuals significant in the development of the community.  These efforts are accomplished through the Architectural Review Commission, the Barrio Latino Commission, and the Historic Preservation Commission.  Currently, there are four Local Historic Districts and 64 Local Historic Landmarks that have been designated and protected within the City of Tampa.

Tampa has been certified by the State of Florida as a local government that has met the criteria for administrating federal and state historic preservation programs.  One of the requirements for certification is that development within historic districts be reviewed by architectural boards/commissions.  The established boards are comprised of Architectural Review Commission  (ARC), Barrio Latino Commission (BLC), and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC).
