Ever wonder if you live in one of West Chicago’s many historic homes? Discover if your home holds historical significance with assistance from the City’s Historical Preservation Commission.
If a home is deemed historic, it may qualify for local landmark designation, fostering pride in ownership and honoring the City’s heritage. Additionally, eligible homes undergoing substantial restoration projects may benefit from a property tax assessment freeze through the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office.
