How long does it take to obtain a permit?

Applications for building permits, signs, tree removal and all construction projects are only issued after they have been reviewed and approved by the Town's Planning Department. Following initial plan review generally, two things happen:

  • The applicant is asked to provide additional information in order for the application to be re-reviewed
  • The applicant is informed that their permit may be picked up and advised of the permit fee
