• HISTORIC DISTRICT
  
  A classification (whether under zoning, heritage or other authority) of a specific area of a community in which the buildings and improvements have a historical value or significance which may not be reflected in their market value. Designation as such a district may also involve strict rules regarding the way the buildings and properties are dealt with.
