The building inspector's office hours are noted elsewhere in this website. Please feel free to stop by or call Town Hall during that time with questions about the permit process or to schedule an appointment.
All new and replacement buildings and additions over a certain expense level require a building permit. Such permits are issued by the Building Inspector based on plans and inspections conducted through the building process, generally for the purposes of safety and conformity with applicable building codes as well as with other applicable State and Town requirements. This permit requirement applies to new or replacement structures, renovation of existing buildings that include structural changes or have value in excess of the current minimum. Permits are also required for storage sheds, swimming pools, permanently installed generators, garages, breezeways and changes to electrical and plumbing systems.
