In addition to the above mentioned permitting, more detailed reviews or permits may be required. If you are altering the current footprint AND/OR changing the use of a current building it will require reviews by multiple departments. It will require the following additional documents:

  • Plot plan with the proposed structure and work/activity depicted to scale
  • Drawings/Plans showing how the structure or space is to be built and if changing or adding onto existing space, an existing plan with designations of spaces used and a proposed plan of designated spaces (both new and existing)

Paid Property Taxes: 

Our Town Ordinance requires all Taxes be paid and current to be able to accept in permitting.  If a property is flagged as Delinquent the review process will be delayed.
