Landmark and Historic District Evaluation Guidelines 

Historic Plaque Program

Owners of historical properties that have been designated by the City of Beverly Hills as either a Historic Landmark or a Contributing Resource within a City-designated Historic District, as listed in the Beverly Hills Register of Historic Properties, are eligible to apply for a Beverly Hills Historic Property Plaque. The Plaque is to be placed on the exterior façade of the building or at the front of the property to acknowledge the date when the resource was constructed and its historic significance.
