Section 1A-48.003 - Responsibility for Florida Historic Marker Program

(1) The Division will be responsible for the administration of all aspects of the Florida Historic Marker Program, including the application process, selection and designation of properties, persons or events to be marked and the placement and maintenance of the markers.

(2) No Official Florida Historic Marker, or reasonable facsimile thereof, may be fabricated with any emblem, design or logo signifying any other organization. No other emblem, design or marker size may be used in addition to, or instead of, those offered by the Division.

(3) Markers are the property of the state and may not be used for commercial advertising or be copied for the use of any other agency, association, corporation or individual, except with written permission from the Division.

(4) The Division will erect and maintain markers indicating sites of historic significance on public property, as well as on private property where permission is obtained. Placement of a marker on private property does not prohibit any actions which may otherwise be taken by the property owner with respect to the property. Also, the Division, in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and local governments will erect and maintain markers within road rights-of-way for the purpose of guiding the general public to historical resources that are marked with Florida Heritage Markers. The Division will erect and maintain markers within the right-of-way of any state highway.
