Do I need a permit for my project?
A Land Use Permit Application is required for projects that require land use review by Planning Department staff and those that involve new construction, an addition or expansion of an existing building, home occupations, or any exterior renovations of properties located in the Historic District, as well as for any projects that require approval from the City's land use boards (Planning Board, Historic District Commission, and Zoning Board of Adjustment) including subdivisions, site plan review, conditional use permits, variances, special exceptions, and historic district commission certificates of approval.
