Buying a home in Colombia and working with real estate agents in Colombia as a foreigner can be challenging. There are several common mistakes foreigners make when buying real estate in Colombia.
The real estate market in Colombia operates differently than the real estate markets in the U.S. and other countries. And many real estate agents in Colombia don't speak much English. So, there are several mistakes foreigners make when buying real estate in Colombia.
The following is a list of 17 common mistakes foreigners make when buying real estate in Colombia, which is based on my discussions with many real estate agents and foreigners who have bought real estate over the past several years. Note this list of mistakes foreigners make when buying real estate is in no particular order.
1. Buying Real Estate Too Quickly
Some foreigners that move to Medellín or other cities in Colombia buy properties quickly. I have seen a few foreigners buy properties within a month after arriving.
Before buying property, we recommend a trial of living in a neighborhood and also spending more time researching the market to find out what is available and what you like.
Furnished apartment rentals are readily available in many neighborhoods in Medellín and other cities in Colombia, which makes it easy to trial living in a neighborhood.
Relocating to Medellín or other city in Colombia and buying real estate are not decisions to be taken lightly. Investing in a foreign country can be exciting and rewarding but also involves some risks.
2. Not Using an Experienced Bilingual Real Estate Lawyer
It is important to involve an experienced bilingual lawyer who understands real estate law in Colombia to do a title search and other background checks. In our guide to buying real estate in Medellín we recommended engaging a real estate attorney at step 1: negotiation and verbal offer.
A lawyer will check the certificado de tradición y libertad, which is a history of the property, and a certificado de paz y salvo predial that states municipal property taxes have been paid and a certificado de paz y salvo de valorización that verifies that taxes related to increases in value of the property have been paid.
Also, a lawyer will draw up a purchase agreement, known as a promesa de compraventa. In addition, a real estate lawyer can help to ensure funds used to buy real estate are popularly registered with the Central Bank of Colombia.
In addition, make sure to negotiate legal fees in advance. So, there are no unpleasant surprises.
3. Working with a Local Real Estate Agent Not Experienced with Foreigners
Many real estate agents in Medellín and Colombia have never experienced a foreigner client, as foreigners reportedly represent less than 1 percent of buyers in Colombia. Also, many local realtors won't speak English.
So, we recommend working with bilingual real estate agents that have experience working with foreigners. It is surprising that this is one of the common mistakes foreigners make by trying to deal with an agent that doesn't speak English and doesn't have experience working with foreigners.
4. Buying an Investment Property that Doesn't Permit Short-Term Rentals
Not all buildings in Medellín or other cities in Colombia permit short-term rentals. Short-term rentals (by the day or week) for furnished apartment investment properties are important for higher returns.
Rentals of less than 30 days in Colombia have specific laws that apply, which makes it essentially illegal in Colombia unless both the building and the unit itself meet a checklist of requirements from licenses to fire extinguishers. Also, many apartment building administration bylaws do not permit short-term rentals.
There have even been crackdowns in the past in Medellín on illegal Airbnb properties in buildings that didn't permit short-term rentals. Tourists were given the order to vacate and owners were told to cease operation or comply with laws.
Colombian law states that 70 percent of the owners in an apartment building can change the reglamento (bylaws) of a building to their liking. So, if 70 percent of the owners of a building vote to increase the minimum rental to three months there's really nothing an individual owner can do.
5. Not Properly Registering Funds with the Central Bank of Colombia
Funds for investing in real estate in Colombia need to be properly registered with Banco de la República (Central Bank of Colombia). This is done with a Formulario #4 (Form #4).
Not registering funds properly will cause problems with taxes, investment visas and repatriation of funds in the future. Experienced real estate lawyers will know the correct process to register funds so you don't run into issues.
6. Buying New Construction
New construction tends to be substantially more expensive than older properties. We recently surveyed new apartment pricing in Medellín and found that new apartments in El Poblado cost 6.9 million pesos per square meter on average and as high at 10.2 million pesos per square meter.
In addition, we found that new apartment prices were 36.9 percent lower per square meter in Sabaneta compared to El Poblado, 35.3 percent cheaper in Belén and 22.9 percent cheaper in Envigado.
But it is possible to find older properties (10 to 15 years old) that can be purchased for prices that can be up to 50 percent less per square meter than new properties.
In addition, old properties can be better located than new properties and may be near shopping malls and restaurants. Also, some of the older properties may have wood flooring, higher ceilings, bigger balconies and other desirable features. However, some older properties may need some remodeling but the bottom line can be much lower priced than new properties.
7. Not Finding Out the True Value of a Property
There is no Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in Colombia. So, if you are buying or selling this can make it challenging to find comparable property sales and understand market prices.
It is important to get expert advice on the true market value of an apartment or casa (house). Some properties can be over-priced compared to similar properties.
Also, there can be some hidden factors that can affect the price and future resale value. This can include administration fees (HOA fees), taxes, rental restrictions, new construction in the area and trends in the real estate market in the area.
8. Not Having a Local Bank Account
I have talked to some foreigners that have started looking for real estate and found properties and started to negotiate without having a local bank account. And some deals fell through because of the inability to pull the trigger fast enough due to not having an account set up.
One of the most popular types of accounts used by foreigners to buy real estate is a brokerage account with Alianza. Alianza is very experienced in handling foreign investments and working with foreigners and they have English speaking staff. Also, it's possible to open an account with Alianza with only a passport.
9. Not Understanding that Estrato 6 Represents Only 3 to 4 Percent of Housing
In Colombia, residential properties are ranked on a 1-6 socioeconomic scale (with 6 being the highest). These are known as estratos. The expensive (for Colombia) estrato 6 properties being touted by some real estate agents focused on expat customers – like in El Poblado in Medellín or Zona G in Bogotá – are not the typical housing for Colombians.
Only about 3 to 4 percent of residential properties in Colombia are rated as estrato 6. The majority of Colombians live in estrato 2 or 3 neighborhoods, which represent about 65 percent of housing in the country. We have a separate guide to estratos in Colombia.
If you buy a property in estrato 6, keep in mind when it comes time to sell there is a limited pool of buyers in Colombia that can afford these properties that are expensive for most Colombians.
However, if you are buying a rental property, location is key. And well-located buildings in popular areas for expat tourists like in El Poblado in Medellín or Zona G in Bogotá can do well as rental properties.
10. Assuming Sellers will be Impressed with a Cash Deal
Most real estate deals in Colombia are all-cash deals, as the mortgage market is very small in Colombia. So, sellers won't be impressed with your all-cash deal.
Only about 3 percent of the adult population in Colombia has a mortgage. In addition, mortgages are more common for new construction projects in Colombia as builders help arranging financing and mortgages are less common for used homes.
In the U.S., only about 40 percent of homes are free and clear of mortgages. In Colombia, over 90 percent of homes are free and clear of mortgages.
11. Not Providing Sufficient Purchase Requirements to a Real Estate Agent
It is important to provide your purchase requirements to a real estate agent so they can find properties that meet your requirements. Loose requirements are not helpful as there is a wide-range of properties available in Medellín and other cities in Colombia. Also, you shouldn't use a real estate agent as a tour guide.
It is important to let the real estate agent know the following details:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Size
- View or not
- Apartment or casa (house) or finca
- Neighborhood
- Budget
With insufficient requirements much time can be wasted looking at many properties. Also, there are no lock boxes with keys in Colombia for viewing properties. So, it can take time to arrange to get keys to show properties.
Also, keep in mind that real estate agents who show you properties for free are paid by commission and are not tour guides.
12. Not Understanding that it can be Quick to Buy Properties but May Take a Long time to Sell
It can be relatively quick to buy real estate in Colombia. I have met several expats that have bought properties in about four weeks in Colombia after finding a place.
However, it can take much longer to sell properties. For example, in 2015, an article in the New York Times reported that the average time to sell residential properties in Bogotá was 270 days. And Fincas and high-end properties can take even longer to sell.
Even new homes in Colombia take a long time to sell. A recent study in 2019 of new home buyers in Colombia by Asociación Bancaria (Asobancaria) and Galería Inmobiliaria found that at the end of March 2019, the average sales time in estrato 4, 5 and 6 in Colombia was 8.9 months for apartments and casas (homes) – see in Spanish.
13. Not Knowing that New Property Development May Take Years to Complete
One risk of buying property in new development projects in Colombia is that some projects may take longer than originally planned and a few never complete.
For example, I am aware of some apartment buildings in Medellín that took three to five years to complete when the original plan was two years.
In addition, I know of a few property refurbishment projects that took double the original planned time (two years instead of one year). Don't trust the completion dates touted by property developers or real estate agencies in Colombia. In many cases the promised dates are optimistic.
The perfect example of this is the incomplete Luciérnagas apartment building project of Grupo Monarca in Sabaneta (south of Medellín). Over 110 apartment buyers bought homes in this building, which had an original planned completion in 2009. And buyers reportedly have been trying to get their money back.
This incomplete building is totally abandoned. Also, it has been subject to the weather for about 10 years now. And I haven't seen any activity at the building in the past several years.
14. Believing a Verbal Offer is a Done Deal
A buyer is not protected with a verbal offer from a seller. After you have a verbal agreement on price and terms for a purchase, your lawyer will draw up a purchase agreement, known as a promesa de compraventa.
A promesa is a binding contract where you state the intention to buy or sell at a given price and the seller states the intention to sell.
Also, keep in mind that Colombians are sophisticated negotiators. So, it is not uncommon for Colombians to be renegotiating right up to signing the promesa de compraventa at a notary. You can also make changes if you feel they are needed before signing the purchase agreement contract at a notary.
15. Not Understanding that There is No Title Insurance and No Escrow in Colombia
These are two important notes for foreigners to be aware of when buying real estate in Colombia. In Colombia there is NO title insurance and there is NO escrow (except for new construction properties).
So, it is very important to hire an experienced lawyer who understands real estate law in Colombia to do a title search and other background checks.
16. Not Knowing the Investment Requirements for Investment Visas
Some foreigners looking for real estate in Colombia are looking to invest in real estate to receive a Colombian investment visa. But some foreigners don't know the investment requirements for visas.
There are two type of real estate investments that qualify for two types of visas:
1. Migrant visa – If you are applying for a Migrant (M) visa for investment in real estate you will need to invest at least 350 times the Colombian minimum monthly salary, which is 289,840,600 pesos in 2019 or $86,726 USD at an exchange rate of 3,342 pesos per USD. In addition, you will need for the visa application:
- Certificado de libertad y tradición of the real estate property that proves ownership.
- Communication issued by the Department of International Exchange of the Banco de la República, which records the direct foreign investment for the purchase of real estate in the name of the foreigner applying for the visa.
2. Resident visa – if you are applying for a resident visa (R visa)for a resident investor you must provide with your visa application a communication issued by the International Exchange Department of the Banco de la República that records the direct foreign investment in the foreigner's name in an amount greater than 650 times the Colombian minimum monthly salary, which is 538,275,400 pesos in 2019 or $161,063 USD at an exchange rate of 3,342 pesos per USD.
17. Thinking Can Buy Property in El Poblado for $15,000 USD
Some real estate agents I have talked to in Medellín have told me that some foreigners have unrealistically low budgets for real estate in Medellín and other cities in Colombia.
For example, one foreigner thought it was possible to buy property in El Poblado for only $15,000 USD. But El Poblado is the most expensive neighborhood in Medellín and there are no properties available for that low of a price.
However, it is possible to find some properties in Medellín for $15,000 USD or even less. But these properties will be located in low estrato neighborhoods that would not be suitable for most foreigners. Also, the quality of such properties would be less than what most foreigners are accustomed to.
It is possible to educate yourself online about current property prices in Colombia. For example, the website Espacio Urbano is used by many real estate agencies to list properties to sell in Medellín. So, you can see prices and photos of properties for sale in Medellín and get a better feel for market prices.

Spanish for Wineries, Vineyards and Agriculture
Only about a 35 minute drive from our campus is Mexico's premier wine country. Of all the wine produced in Mexico, over 85% of it comes from the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California northeast of Ensenada.
There are about 35 wineries in the region. They range from the very small artisanal wineries like Mogor Badan that specializes in a Swiss style white, Chesselas, and a red Bordeaux blend, to the gigantic L.A. Cetto that vinifies almost 1,000,000 cases per year. Cetto is the number one single producer of Nebbiolo outside of Italy.
The Spanish for Wineries and Vineyards Program prepares those in agriculture and the wine business to better communicate with Spanish speaking clientele as well as with their Latino personnel and families. The program also provides students the opportunity to explore and define the nuances of Baja California wine. A brief synopsis of the long history of wine making in the region that dates back over 300 years is also covered.
The program runs Monday – Friday. The first 4 hours of each day are spent in the Small Group Immersion Program studying Spanish at the proficiency level that is right for each student. The afternoons will be spent learning the vocabulary and phrases necessary for those who need Spanish for wineries or Spanish for agriculture.
Afternoon sessions include tasting and critiquing of Baja wines. Once or twice during the week students venture off to visit the wineries and vineyards Guadalupe Valley to taste Baja California wine.
Students may enroll for just one week or for all the weeks the program is offered.
The Spanish for Wineries and Vineyards Program will be launched in April 2012.
Tuition is $479 per week. This includes all instruction and materials as well as tastings on campus and at least one trip to the wineries and vineyards of the Guadalupe Valley.
Contact the US office of the college for reservations and further information.
Students also have the option of staying at the top Inn/Winery/Vineyard in the Valley; Adobe Guadalupe.
"During the past seven or eight years I have attended classes at the Baja California Language College both in Ensenada and the two-week classes held in San Felipe during the Spring and Fall. It is hard to find the words to describe just how much my life has been enriched from this experience. Learning to speak Spanish has opened doors I never expected.
Since my first class in Ensenada, there have been many major changes in my life. Learning the language has only brought more joy to me through the beautiful people, culture and country of Mexico. Every time I am able to attend classes in Ensenada it is much like "going home" to an environment that encourages you to grow in an atmosphere of professionalism and FUN!!! In my university studies, never did I experience the commitment and dedication that I have found from all of the teachers, director and owner of the Baja California Language College.
I have felt compelled to write this letter because of the negative press regarding safety and travel in Mexico. During the past 25 years I have been traveling to and from the United States and Mexico alone. The people from Baja California have been extremely kind and helpful and I must say that I have not had a negative experience in all of these years. After many flat tires, gasoline shortages, etc., etc. the stories are countless of the incredible people and their willingness to share their lives and homes with a complete stranger.
It would be easy to go on and on, so I would just like to say thank you to all of you from the Baja California Language College for your commitment and dedication to your students, and most of all for your friendship! "

The related projects are designed to increase the current understanding of the fragmentation patterns of activated protonated peptides with particular interest on the formation and fragmentation of isobaric "b" ion structures. The long range goals of this work are to provide additional "rules" that will increase the confidence in automated primary sequencing of peptides and proteins by tandem mass spectrometry and, ultimately, to relate information on gas-phase fragmentation patterns and energetics of dissociation to the gas-phase conformations of intact and fragment peptides and proteins.

TUESDAY, March 24, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Women with coronary artery disease have less narrowing in their blood vessels but more chest pain than men with the condition, a new study finds.
In coronary artery disease, plaque build-up in arteries results in reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the heart.
The study included more than 1,100 women and more than 4,000 men whose results on cardiac stress tests indicated they had moderate to severe ischemia.
Women had a 38% higher chance of having more chest pain than men, the study found. And that held true even after researchers accounted for such factors as age, race, stress test findings, medication use, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, prior heart attack, kidney function and overall heart function.
The findings are to be presented at an online meeting of the American College of Cardiology/World Congress of Cardiology March 28 to 30. Research presented at meetings is typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"Women are having more chest pain even though they have less plaque on imaging, and yet they have very abnormal stress test results," said lead author Dr. Harmony Reynolds, director of the Center for Women's Cardiovascular Disease at NYU Langone Health in New York City.
"These findings suggest that just because there may not be as much plaque, many women may have chest pain that limits their daily activities, and we have medicines that can improve chest pain from heart disease," she said in an ACA news release.
More severe chest pain is often associated with a higher risk of heart attack or death.
More research is needed to understand the findings, Reynolds said.
"The heart has nerves that can sense when there isn't enough blood flow, but we can't always tell if those nerves have been activated by a large amount of heart muscle or a smaller amount," she said.
"Just like a small cut on your finger can really sting and hurt and yet it may hardly look like anything. So when it comes to the burden of chest pain in these women, is it because the activation of nerve endings in a relatively smaller amount of heart muscle will raise the red flag in a woman's brain differently, or is it because there are other factors going on in women, like small vessel disease, that we aren't assessing with the tests that we are using?"

Having struggled with the absence of a reliable cadre recruitment system and an emotional attachment to the public, many political parties have chosen to rely on instant efforts to win a chunk of the 186 million voters in the upcoming legislative election, including by exploiting the charm of celebrities and public figures.
The Jakarta Post learned that at least 75 out of 6,607 lawmaker candidates vying to win one of 560 House of Representatives seats are public figures from backgrounds including acting, modeling, singing, athletics, comedy and television.
From 12 national political parties competing in the April 9 general election, the National Mandate Party (PAN) has nominated the most public figures, at least 15, including actor Primus Yustisio and comedian Eko "Patrio" Hendro Purnomo. Both are incumbent lawmakers. Three parties - the Nasdem Party, the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the Gerindra Party - have also each nominated a dozen public figures or more.
Only the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and the Crescent Star Party (PBB) - both Muslim-based parties - have no celebrities in their list of legislator candidates.
Award-winning TV presenter Charles Bonar Sirait, who is running as a Golkar Party candidate for the first Jakarta electoral district covering East Jakarta, admitted that being a celebrity had given him an advantage in the election race.
"With so many candidates competing in one electoral district, people tend to cast their votes for someone they are familiar with, including public figures who have made many media appearances a long time before the election," the 42-year-old father of two told the Post recently.
Having been away from the screen for the past few years, Charles said he employed other strategies to attract young voters who probably had no recollection of him in his heyday as a celebrity. "I've written several books, including The Power of Public Speaking, which is a best-seller and is read mostly by young people. I believe the book will help them learn about who I am," said Charles, whose parents are long-time supporters of Golkar, currently the country's second-largest political party.
Actress Helmalia Putri, 31, said her experience in the entertainment industry had helped her easily get public recognition even when she was running an election campaign in the Riau Islands.
"In the making of my recent movie, I spoke to many locals who shared their concern about the province's lack of education facilities, power supply and clean water. That inspired me to run as a lawmaker candidate for the province," said Helmalia, who is representing Gerindra to win one of three House seats offered in the province.
In 2009, Gerindra participated for the first time in the general election and managed to secure 4.6 per cent of the vote, making it the eighth-largest party faction in the House.
Unlike Charles and Helmalia who have designed their campaign to approach general voters, Indonesian Justice and Unity Party (PKPI) lawmaker candidate Camellia Lubis, popularly known as Camel Petir (thunder), said she had delivered her campaign in "a rocking and youthful manner" in order to win support from young voters in the second Jakarta electoral district, which covers South Jakarta, Central Jakarta and overseas.
"Camel knows that young voters don't like to discuss heavy issues like ideology. Instead, they are eager to discuss ones relevant to them, like education and unemployment," said the 28-year-old dangdut singer
Established in 1999 by a group of retired army generals and former Golkar officials following the reform movement, the PKPI performed poorly in the 1999, 2004 and 2009 general elections, garnering less than 1.5 per cent of the vote.
Public criticism of the performances of celebrities-turned-politicians escalated after United Development Party (PPP) lawmaker candidate Angel Lelga gave a stuttered response to questions posed by Metro TV talk show host Najwa Shihab about her motivation for contesting the 2014 legislative election.
One of the most embarrassing moments was when Angel, a swimsuit model and actress known for her suggestive performances in local horror movies, apparently ran out of ways to respond to questions and said: "Regarding some of the issues, I haven't asked my party chairman, so I don't have my own opinion. I don't want to meddle in party affairs."
University of Indonesia (UI) political analyst Hamdi Muluk said the increasing participation of public figures in general elections was the consequence of, among others, political parties' failure to develop a merit-based recruitment system.
The new election rule implemented since 2009, which allows individual candidates to secure House seats in exchange for a certain number of votes, made political parties rely on personal appeal of their lawmaker candidates instead of on their collective performances, he added.
To improve election quality, Hamdi said the number of election participants must be significantly reduced in the next elections.
"Reducing the number of parties from 12 to three or four is important since political parties are struggling with a limited number of quality politicians while at the same time voters are overwhelmed with too many lawmaker candidates," he said.
Helmalia, Charles and Camel, however, have chosen to undermine critics questioning their capacity to represent political parties in the upcoming election, saying that all citizens, including celebrities, had an equal opportunity to contribute to the nation through politics.
"I admit I still need to learn more about politics, but I disagree if people merely consider me as a vote getter. I have a master's degree and good educational background. I feel I have the same rights as others to develop my country," Helmalia said.

Town of Chapel Hill, NCHome Menu
Historic District
Historic Districts are areas defined by historic, architectural and/or cultural significance. Chapel Hill's historic districts embody important elements of social, economic, political, or architectural history of the community. The community has designated these special areas in an effort to protect and conserve historic neighborhoods and individual sites through historic preservation.
Local Historic Districts are zoning overlay districts created to protect and conserve the heritage and character of Chapel Hill. The Town of Chapel Hill has three local historic districts which include:
- Franklin-Rosemary Historic District (created by the Town Council in 1976)
- Cameron-McCauley Historic District (created by the Town Council in 1990)
- Gimghoul Historic District (created by the Town Council in 1990)
Owners of property within Local Historic Districts are required to receive a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes to their property. This is done to encourage design, whether contemporary or traditional, which is harmonious with the character of the historic district and to ensure, insofar as possible, that buildings or structures in the historic district be in harmony with other buildings or structures located therein.
LUMO Excerpt - Historic Districts
The Town of Chapel Hill has five National Register Historic Districts which include:
- Chapel Hill Historic District (designated in 1971) and Chapel Hill Historic District Boundary Increase and Additional Documentation (2015)
West Chapel Hill Historic District (designated in 1998) and West Chapel Hill Historic District Boundary Increase (2019)
Rocky Ridge Farm Historic District (designated in 1989) and Rocky Ridge Farm Boundary Increase (2008)
- Old Chapel Hill Cemetery (designated in 1994)
The owner of a property in the National Register Historic District is not required to apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness for changes unless the property is also located within a local historic district.

- Historic District Commission
- Certificate of Appropriateness (COA)
- Design Guidelines for Chapel Hill Historic Districts
What is the Historic District Commission?
State statute gives municipalities the authority to create a historic preservation commission to manage local historic districts and landmarks, and issue Certificates of Appropriateness (COA). Before issuing or denying any COA, the Commission must adopt rules of procedure and Design Guidelines.
The Historic District Commission has the responsibility of guiding physical change within the historic districts of Chapel Hill in such a way as to promote, enhance, and preserve the character of the districts. For additional information about the Historic District Commission, click here.
Historic District Commission Rules of Procedure
Does the Historic District Commission regulate landscaping?
The location of a building in relation to its site as well as the larger setting of the neighborhood contributes to the character of the district. The natural topography, vernacular or designed landscape elements, and vegetation may contribute to the historical significance of a site or the district as a whole. The Commission does not have regulatory authority over landscaping, except to preserve Significant Site Features.
Significant site features are those that have been found to contribute to the character of the site. These may include:
• Rock retaining walls
• Circulation systems such as walks, paths, roadways, parking
• Open spaces such as fields or parks
• Historic formal gardens created by a landscape architect, master gardener, architect, or horticulturist
• Water features
• Arrangements of plantings such as an allée of trees which may be found to be historically significant
Does the Historic District Commission (HDC) regulate paint color?
No, the Commission does not regulate paint color.
What happens at a Historic District Commission meeting and what is my role as the applicant or homeowner?
Each month, staff publishes the agenda at least 10 business days prior to the meeting on the Town's website. The agenda shows the order of all items the Commission will be discussing and includes links to application materials.
The agenda is then used during the meeting. After the Chair calls the meeting to order, the Commission typically go through a number of administrative or housekeeping items, including reading the public charge and procedures, taking a roll call of members, announcements, and approval of previous minutes. There is also an opportunity for the public to submit petitions.
Because the HDC is a quasi-judicial body, anyone wishing to speak on an item must be sworn in. The Staff Liaison typically does this at the beginning of each meeting. It is your responsibility as an applicant to make sure you have been sworn, and to state such before beginning your presentation or giving testimony.
The projects on the Consent Agenda are the first to be reviewed. These projects are typically small scale projects that staff and the Chair have deemed to be relatively uncomplicated and will not require discussion by the Commission. Typically, the Commission approves the Consent Agenda without opening a public hearing, but there is always an opportunity to do so if a member of the public or a Commission member has concerns or questions about any particular project that is on the Consent Agenda. Typically the applicant does not need to prepare anything for the meeting in these cases, but we recommend that you are prepared to answer questions about your project in case the Commission decides to open a public hearing.
Next on the agenda are Old Business items. These projects usually have been continued from a previous meeting, either because the Commission asked the applicant for additional information or other circumstances have caused a continuation.
Following those, there are New Business items. If your project is on this list, you will need to be prepared with a presentation to introduce your project to the Board. Applicants typically use PowerPoint presentations to show site plans, pictures, justification, and how the project meets specific Design Guidelines (see below for more information about the Design Guidelines). After your presentation, the Commission may ask you additional questions about the project, before inviting members of the public to speak. After all members of the public have spoken, the Commission will close the public hearing and go into discussion, where they will make findings of fact regarding the project and determine if it meets the Design Guidelines. The Commission will then make a motion to approve or deny the Certificate of Appropriateness, or to continue the public hearing to a later meeting date if they have additional questions or would like to see more information.
If your project is approved, you should expect to receive notification from staff that your signed Certificate of Appropriateness and approval letter are ready to be picked up within about a week of the meeting. If you have questions about what additional permits might be required, please check with staff.
View agendas, minutes, and videos
I've heard the Historic District Commission (HDC) is a quasi-judicial body. What does this mean?
You may be familiar with Town Council and other advisory board meetings, which are typically legislative in nature. Legislative decisions on items such as re-zonings, text amendments, and more, are decisions that establish policies and are made at the discretion of Town Council. Quasi-judicial (and administrative) decisions, apply those policies to specific situations. Quasi-judicial meetings, as the name conveys, is more court-like in nature. Quasi-judicial proceedings require the board to interpret the law to make judgements on a case, based on evidence and testimony presented. A board making a quasi-judicial decision must follow the basic standards of due process, such as following proper notice requirements, no ex parte communication, etc. Additionally, any member of the public wishing to speak on a case must be sworn in and is considered a witness presenting evidence and testimony regarding the facts of a case. Because witnesses must be sworn in, anyone wishing to speak about a case must be present (or represented by their attorney) at the meeting. Emails, letters, and other written correspondence will not be considered.
For further reading, we recommend the Quasi-Judicial Handbook: A Guide for Boards Making Development Regulation Decisions by David W. Owens and Adam S. Lovelady.
Who is on the Historic District Commission (HDC)?
The HDC is comprised of volunteers appointed by Town Council. Typically, the Commission makes recommendations to Council after reviewing new applications for membership. All members are Chapel Hill residents, and a majority of members must have demonstrated special interest, experience, or education in history or architecture. If you have more questions about this process or are interested in applying to be on the Commission, please contact email@example.com.
How do I apply to be on the Historic District Commission?
The Town is always looking for new applicants to fill vacancies on our advisory boards and commissions, including the Historic District Commission. To apply, please visit our Advisory Boards & Commissions page.
When do I need a COA?
The Chapel Hill Land Use Management Ordinance Section 3.6.2 specifies the types of projects that require a Certificate of Appropriateness:
No exterior portion of any building or other structure…or any above ground utility structure, or any type of outdoor advertising sign shall be erected, altered, restored, moved, or demolished within the historic district until an application for a certificate of appropriateness as to exterior architectural features has been approved.
Ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature that does not involve a change in design, material or outer appearance typically does not require a certificate of appropriateness. To learn more, please see Section 3.6.2 of the Land Use Management Ordinance.
Essentially, any project that will affect the exterior appearance of your property will require a COA.
Who approves the COA?
Depending on the scope of the project, the project may be approved by staff or by the Historic District Commission (HDC). The Design Guidelines designate approval authority to staff for certain projects, including:
• Walkways on private property when constructed of common red brick, or Chapel Hill gravel.
• Minor projects which do not require building permits because of cost or because they involve nonstructural changes.
• Signs which do not require a sign permit.
• Installing gutters painted to match the house or trim, as long as no significant architectural features are removed.
• Construction of wood deck on rear or side of house when less than 10% would be visible from a public right-of-way.
• Fieldstone walls not exceeding three feet in height.
• Bricked-in areas on side or rear of structure at ground level and not abutting right-of-way.
The above projects are not required to be heard by the Commission, but applicants must still submit a COA application and relevant fees before staff can approve the project.
All other projects must be approved by the Commission during their monthly meetings. Depending on the complexity of the project, the item may be eligible for inclusion on the Consent Agenda, which is typically reserved for small-scale projects where the exterior appearance is altered slightly or not at all (such as roof repairs, generator installations, door and window replacement). See below for more information on the Commission's regulatory authority.
My house is in a historic district, but it is not historic. Do I still need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to make changes?
Yes, any project that will affect the exterior appearance of your property will require a COA. The Chapel Hill Land Use Management Ordinance Section 3.6.2 does not differentiate between historic and non-historic houses.
What are the fees for my project?
Residential Projects:
Applicants have the choice of applying for a combined Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) and Zoning Compliance Permit, which has a $570 fee. Alternatively, applicants may submit the COA application only, with a fee of $400, and then apply for a ZCP after receiving a COA. The ZCP has a $250 fee. In both cases, a public notification (a postcard) must to be sent out to all property owners within 100 feet of the project property. Applicants are charged $1.00 per postcard. The Town provides a tool that you can use to generate a list of property owners within 100 feet.
Commercial Projects:
Commercial projects have a $400 COA fee, and a $1.00 per postcard notification fee. There is no combined COA and ZCP fee for commercial projects. After receiving a COA, applicants must submit an Administrative Zoning Compliance Permit application, which has a $480 fee.
These fees do not include building permits. For information about Building permit fees, please contact the Inspections Department at 919-968-2718 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
How long will my project take to get approved?
After submitting a complete application, staff will schedule the project on the agenda for the next available HDC meeting. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, and complete applications are due 30 calendar days prior to the meeting date.
Depending on the scale of the project and information provided by the applicant, the Commission may approve or deny the project at the meeting. In some cases, the Commission may ask for additional information and continue the public hearing to the following month.
The Commission is tasked with taking action on an application within 90 days of the first hearing, or up to 180 days with the written consent of the applicant.
Do I need to hire a professional?
Depending on the scope of your project - new houses, large additions, or other projects that will significantly alter the exterior appearance of your home - it may be beneficial to hire an architect, engineer, design professional, or attorney. If you are already hiring someone to design your project, it may be valuable for them to fill out the application and present your case to the HDC on your behalf. Many local architects and designers have experience with COAs.
What is the Town Staff's role in this process?
Town staff are here to help guide applicants through the process of obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). Staff typically meet with applicants prior to their submitting the application to talk through the process, answer questions about the application, and provide initial feedback on the project. After applicants submit their materials, staff will review the application for completeness and provide comments. Once all required materials and documents have been submitted, staff deems the application to be complete.
Staff then meets with the Commission chair to review applications and determine any Consent Agenda items. Staff then develops the agenda and staff reports for each project, which summarize the relevant Design Guidelines that are applicable to the project. The agenda is published 10 business days before the meeting.
At the meeting, staff helps to run the meeting, provides background information, answers questions about relevant ordinance provisions, and more.
Afterwards, staff puts together approval and denial letters, placards, and works with applicants if their item was continued to help them prepare for the next meeting.

What are the Design Guidelines for the Chapel Hill Historic Districts?
The Design Guidelines for the Chapel Hill Historic Districts were adopted by the Town Council in June 2002. The Guidelines set the standards for property owners and for the Historic District Commission on what is congruous with the character of the historic districts.
The Guidelines include a brief description and history of Chapel Hill, and a description of the Historic District Commission. Each topic covered includes points to consider prior to designing and has specific guidelines. For example, exterior lighting suggests the use of directional fixtures and down lighting to prevent excessive nighttime lighting.
How are the Design Guidelines used by the Historic District Commission?
The Design Guidelines provide standards that the Commission uses to determine whether or not a proposal is incongruous with the special character of the district. As an applicant, you should be familiar with the specific Design Guidelines that apply to your project. The Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application requires you to provide justification and facts to demonstrate how your project meets those specific Guidelines; the Commission will then use this information to make a decision on your case.

Gwallaia, this helmet could decrease the factors leading to concussions to a very limited extent. Concussions to be exact do not even require direct hits to the head, as the bell tolling can occur on simple hard tackles where the accompanying brain's deceleration movements bangs back and forth inside the skull. Unfortunately, I don't see any helmet design existing today or yet to be developed, eliminating concussions. The most important point that is lost in all of this is that helmets were never primarily intended to prevent concussions.......they were originally invented and developed solely with the purpose of preventing skull fractures.Flexible helmet technology. This video has been around a while but this technology looks promising. The explanation of the helmet begins at the 2:25 mark of the video

Skinny Lemon Drop Martini:
My brain hurts! I've been spending a lot of time trying to finish existing projects – getting them completed or to the next level and it just takes so much dedication and hard work to get things done. I'm focused on all that I set out to accomplish so giving up is not an option! I'm constantly grinding, thinking, retooling and reinventing so when I can carve out some rest time, I can't think of a better way than to make a skinny delicious cocktail for Friday night…and one that's not going to put on any extra pounds after working out all week at Barry's Bootcamp and Cardio Barre.
My Skinny Lemon Drop Martini is only 125 calories! How can it only be 125 calories? Because I eliminated the sugar and replaced it with organic blue agave for the sweetener but it taste like so much more! Summer is approaching quickly and here in my household we've cut down on all hard liquor and only drink wine at dinner but every now and then I need a refreshing cocktail that goes straight to the head and gets rid of the headache from grinding all week.
Try my Skinny Lemon Drop Martini and send me your comments to let me know if you like it or not. Summer is quickly approaching and…as we start to party more when the weather begins to heat up, I'll be featuring new Skinny Cocktails on Fridays!
Happy Friday,
Ali in the Valley
