Add an Addition to a Single-Family Dwelling with a Part 1 Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Application (B)
Petition HP-18-85. Jay Reeves & Associates, Inc., agent for Peter J. van Blokland. Certificate of Appropriateness and an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Part 1 review for an addition to a single-family house. Located at 310 NE 13th Avenue.
