Historic and Architectural Preservation Commission

Oxford has three historic districts—the Uptown Historic District, the University Historic District, and the Western College Historic District—administered by the Community Development Department and the Historic & Architectural Preservation Commission.

The Historic and Architectural Preservation Commission (HAPC) was created in order to protect and enhance structures, sites and areas that are reminders of past eras, events, and persons important in local, state, or national history. This basic mission is more fully developed in Chapter 1152 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Oxford.
