Does historic preservation in the City of Stuart dictate what I can do with my property?

Historic preservation in the City is essentially voluntary. Property owners are provided with incentives to preserve and maintain historic structures. A waiting period of 30 or 90 days is applicable when a permit to demolish a historic building is sought, during which voluntary preservation options can be explored. As is the case with all buildings, owners of historic structures may not allow them to fall into disrepair.
