Main Street Toccoa takes great pride in the beauty and character of Historic Downtown Toccoa. To preserve the district’s historic integrity, the City of Toccoa has established a preservation ordinance that applies specifically to properties within the downtown district.

Any building work within the downtown district requires approval through a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA), which is reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission.

​

Examples of projects that require a COA include:

• Construction of new buildings or additions

• Major restoration, rehabilitation, or remodeling

• Minor exterior changes

• Site modifications

• Signage installation or changes

​

Here you will find several documents designed to assist you in preparing your COA application.
