The Florida Historical Marker Program is administered by the Florida Department of State, Division
of Historical Resources. The program recognizes historic resources, as well as persons and events
that are significant in the areas of architecture, archaeology, and historic culture, by promoting the
placing of historic markers and plaques at sites of historic and visual interest to visitors.
Applications are submitted to the Division of Historical Resources and reviewed by the Florida
Historic Marker Council several times throughout the year. Applications are required to include a
historical documentation, bibliography, current photographs of resource or site, copy for the Marker
text and signed property owner's permission. It is the applicant's responsibility to pay for the marker
and all associated installation costs.
The cost for a single-sided marker is $2,010 and the cost of a double sided marker is $2,330.
According to the Florida Department of State, costs are subject to change and an applicant is notified
of the current cost after an application has been approved by the Florida Historic Marker Council.
Each marker is made of cast aluminum with a dark blue background with white lettering and a white
Florida Heritage emblem. The markers come with a 7'-0" concrete post and have a text area of 30"
by 42".
