Map of all local historic districts in the City of Detroit that is updated regularly and intended to be used for reference purposes only. Each local historic district is enacted by an ordinance containing a legal boundary description and elements of design. To obtain a copy of an ordinance, please consult Chapter 21 of the Detroit City Code or contact the Clerk's Office. Please note that all work conducted within a local historic district (construction, alteration, demolition, site work, etc.) requires review and approval by the Historic District Commission.

For more information about final reports or proposed local historic districts currently under study, please visit the Historic Designation Advisory Board webpage or contact staff at (313) 224-3487.
