Courtesy In 1985, the State Legislature passed a law which allows a local option of “special of Everett Public Library Northwest Room valuation”, a program of real estate tax reduction for certain historic properties within the state. The purpose of this program is to encourage rehabilitation of historic properties. Everett implemented this state program in 1987 and made the Special Tax Valuation available to Everett property owners. At the same time, the city established the Everett Register of Historic Places and adopted the Historical Commission as the citizen body for historic preservation. Placement on the Everett Register is an honorary designation. A building must be 50 years old or older, significant to Everett’s history, architecture or cultural heritage, and retain sufficient historic character to reflect the history of the community. Inclusion on the register requires owner approval, or approval by owners of a majority of properties in a proposed historic district. The effect of listing a property on the Everett Register of Historic Places requires an owner to request a certificate of appropriateness from the Historical Commission for proposed work. Failure to meet this requirement could result in removal of the building from the register and loss of special tax valuation received, if any. Chapter 7, Historic Resources 3 January 23, 2018 If the owner wishes to demolish a property on the Everett Register, either partially or wholly, the owner must apply to the Historical Commission for a review of the proposed demolition. Everett is a Certified Local The owner must discuss alternatives to demolition and, if there is no alternative, to Government, or CLG. Obtaining this status helps demonstrate how the project mitigates the loss of the historic property. For demolition, the support the Historical Historical Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council for action. Commission, local regulations, nominations for registers, and Under special valuation, qualified expenses for rehabilitation of a historic property are eligibility for special grants from deducted from the assessed value of a property for tax purposes for up to 10 years. Eligibility the State Historic Preservation and other requirements for the program include: Officer (SHPO) with the Washington Department of • cost of rehabilitation
