PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

All forms are down-loadable OR available at our office

(Please note Only COMPLETED Applications will be processed)

The Building Permit Application Form is universal.  This form is used for all types of work and requests.  It will become obvious to you that certain questions or “blanks”, don’t apply to what you are doing.  This is understandable and expected.  Fill in only the information that applies to what you are doing.  If you have questions, please stop in to our office or call 978-356-6605 x8.

1. Completed Building Permit Application Form or Amended Building Permit Application Form with all appropriate information supplied AND signed by owner or agent of owner.
