Short answer
Phoenix has 38 historic districts administered by the Historic Preservation Office — including Roosevelt, Willo, Encanto-Palmcroft, Coronado, F.Q. Story, Woodlea, Alvarado, Del Norte, Story, and 29 others. Any exterior alteration, window replacement, roof change, or demolition inside a designated district requires a Certificate of No Effect or Certificate of Appropriateness. Interior-only work is typically exempt.
