Attributes

Covina established a historic preservation ordinance in 1997, which allows for the designation of individual landmarks.  The ordinance does not establish the ability to designate historic landmarks, and the designation of individual landmarks requires owner consent.  However, the City has not been active in the use of its historic preservation ordinance and has not yet designated any landmarks.

There is no historic resource survey for the entire city, but there is one for the city’s downtown: The Covina Town Center Historic Resource Survey, dated September 4, 2007.

The first resource listed below is specific to Covina. For general resources related to local preservation and our Preservation Report Card, please visit our Report Card microsite.
