The Historic District Commission formulates and administers all regulations and policies concerning the Old Lyme Historic District. This is done in accordance with Town Ordinances and the Connecticut General Statutes.

No building or structure within the Historic District may be erected, altered, removed or demolished until a Certificate of Appropriateness has been granted by the Historic District Commission.

The Commission also provides advice about all historic properties in the District, suggests pertinent legislation, initiates planning and zoning proposals, cooperates with other regulatory and civic groups interested in historic preservation and comments on all applications for zoning variances that may affect the Historic District.

The Commission in Old Lyme reports to the Connecticut Historical Commission in Hartford.

The Historic District Commission meets once monthly, on the 1st Monday at 9:15 a.m. Meetings are open to the public.
The HDC monthly meetings will be held in the Conference room at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts Academic Center (new building) beginning on May 7, 2007.
