| Before You Build There are some preliminary steps you must take before you can begin building. The first step is to apply at the clerk’s office. A survey map is also needed at the time the application is completed. Your application will then go to the zoning consultant for review. A zoning fee of $10 is paid when application is completed. When zoning has been approved, the building inspector will issue a building permit and appropriate fees are paid then. If a variance is needed, a hearing will be scheduled. This process may and can take up to a month, so please be patient and start the paperwork early! |

| Is Your Puppy Legal? Any dog 4 months old must be licensed and have a current rabies shot. If the dog is spayed or neutered, the fee is $6.00; otherwise, it is $13.00. You can submit documentation from your vet at the time of licensing. Although the town does not have a leash law in effect, the County does impose a law in the spring that requires all dogs to be tied up so they will not chase deer. Lost dog? |
