Short answer
The Orlando Historic Preservation Board reviews Certificates of Appropriateness for exterior changes in local historic districts: Lake Eola Heights, Thornton Park, Lake Cherokee, College Park, and Lake Copeland. Additions, window replacement, roofing, fencing, and paint color all trigger review. Budget 4-8 weeks in parallel with the building-permit submission. Some Thornton Park and Lake Eola Heights homes carry individual landmark designation with tighter scope.
