What is the process for applying for a building permit?

The process varies, depending on the scope of work for the project. At a minimum a completed online application, copy of required licenses, permit fee, insurance certificate, and accompanying plans are required to be submitted; in addition any supporting documentation required by the building code and/or town department approvals (e.g., Fire, Engineering, water, affidavits, reports, etc.) Please visit the Permit Application Requirements pages for more information.
