Background
Boulder County is committed to identifying and preserving the rich history of the unincorporated areas of the county. Through our Boulder County Comprehensive Plan, Boulder County Land Use Code, and other policies, we have created a program to document, protect, and preserve the varying historical and archaeological resources in our jurisdiction. The county staff and our Historic Preservation Advisory Board are available to assist property owners in researching their property history, determine whether it is eligible for Historic Landmark Designation, identify ways to preserve the property, and find Historic Preservation Financial Incentives for preservation.
