The city has 21,606 housing units. The largest decade is the 1980s, 4,598 units, 21.3%. The 1970s are 3,498 (16.2%) and the 1950s are 3,051 (14.1%). The pre-1940 stock is 721 units, 3.3%. That older slice is the part of town where a window change can also be a historic review, and it is not the typical Littleton house.

Permits in Littleton

The city's guidelines for replacement of historic windows state two rules that apply beyond landmarks. Repair of existing windows does not require a building permit or a Certificate of Appropriateness. Replacement of any existing window, whether historic or not, requires a building permit from the city. Properties on the Littleton Historic Register also need a Certificate of Appropriateness before the window is replaced, and the guidelines tell owners to repair historic windows before treating replacement as the path. The document is the city's window guidelines. Permits are filed with the Permit Center.

Those rules are the city's, for addresses inside Littleton. This page is a reading of the posted guidelines, not a certificate and not a permit.
