This is just a reminder that sometimes we may be uncertain as to what types of work on our property require a permit. In order to assist residents in determining whether a permit or other type of approval is needed, the Town web site has a document called "Permitting Procedures Manual." It can be found on the Planning Board page of the Town web site. On the left side of that page is a link called "Do I need a permit for that?" It is at the top of a list of links.
This document includes a brief (1-page each) description of the responsibilities of most of the permit granting boards, commissions and departments of the Town. It also includes a chart at the back that lists what types of permits are needed for which projects and identifies the entity that issues those permits. Finally, there is a flow chart that illustrates the process for building a new house or addition.
As always, it is important to contact Town Hall prior to starting a project and you will be provided guidance as to what, if anything, is needed in terms of approvals.
