I live or own property within 250 feet of a river, stream, pond, wetland and/or wet soils, are there any permits beyond a building permit that must be obtained from the town or state?

There are various town ordinances/regulations (zoning ordinance for shore land, wet soils, floodplain, aquifer) and state laws when working in or near these areas. There are various setback requirements for these areas and additions to existing structures of any type may require further permits and/or actions by other boards and/or agencies.  You may contact us to obtain further information, however, while town employees do their best to guide residents through the process of developing their property, residents are responsible for complying with all local, state and federal laws.
