Building Department

Applications & Fee Schedules→

For Building Permit Applications: At the end of the Building Permit Application is a Checklist which lists the documents/information which must be submitted along with two sets of plans. The Building Department will circulate the application for the necessary approvals of other Town Departments. It is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure one set of the plans submitted were approved by the Fire Department if it was deemed a necessary approval by the Buidling Inspector. 

If a dumpster is going to be left on site you will need to have the appropriate form approved by the Fire Department but it does not need to be included with the Building Permit Application Packet.

Depending on the scope of the proposed construction the Building Inspector may require a Certified Plot Plan.

Building Permits will become null and void if construction work is not started with six months of the date the permit is issued or if the permit is not renewed annually.  

All application fees must be paid by check when any type of permit application is submitted to the office. You may contact the office to ensure you submit the correct payment for the application fee.
