Does Swiss Avenue or Munger Place have special rules?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Yes. Swiss Avenue, Munger Place, Winnetka Heights, South Boulevard-Park Row, and several other Dallas historic districts fall under the Dallas Landmark Commission. Any visible exterior alteration requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (CofA) before Development Services can issue the permit. Typical staff-level CofA review runs 4-10 weeks; full Landmark Commission review on substantial exterior scope extends to 12-20 weeks.
