Select Board approves simplified one-page permits for minor building projects

Aug 25, 2026

The Select Board approved a new permitting process that splits minor work (electrical, plumbing, gas, generators, signs) into separate one-page permits to make filing easier for homeowners and contractors; the full permit remains for larger projects.

The full story

Kevin Bennett, the town's building inspector, told the Select Board the town previously used a single general building permit for all projects and has developed separate one-page permits for routine work such as electrical, plumbing, gas, generators and signs. "The revised process creates separate, one-page permits for these minor projects, making them easier for homeowners and contractors to complete and easier for the Town to process," Bennett said.
