Overview

The Department of Planning & Community Development (DPCD) through the Design Review Board is responsible for the issuance, inspection, and enforcement of Certificates of Appropriateness within the City of Barberton Downtown Historic District. The Design Review Board approves Certificates of Appropriateness based on the City of Barberton Design Guidelines. For more information regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness process, please contact the DPCD at planning@cityofbarberton.com or at 330-848-6729.

 Certificate of Appropriateness Application

The Design Review Board typically meets the second Tuesday of every month at 5:30 PM on the second floor of the Municipal Building, in Council Chambers. Design Review Board is a volunteer board created to develop and recommend guidelines for Certificates of Appropriateness, recommend properties for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, and to recommend plans, regulations, guidelines or programs of the enhancement of properties or areas of historic or architectural significance in the City.

Available Applications

Each Application contains an associated fee for processing, staff review, and Design Review Board proceedings. The DPCD accepts payment in the form of cash or check. Please note that the DPCD does not hold cash on-site, therefore exact change is needed for an accepted form of payment.

**Applicable applications, required documentation, and payments must be received by 10:00 A.M. of the filing date to be presented at the corresponding Design Review Board meeting date.**
