What if I want to construct a new house?

Your first step is to consult the building inspector. There will be many steps before you can actually start construction. One of the first items that will be reviewed is your property. Some of the items for review will be; is it a legal lot with minimum zoning size? The Building inspector will want to have a copy of the plot plan, to scale, showing the location of the house and any other accessory structures as well as the driveway layout. Include the location of your water tie in at the street as well as your sewer tie-in or septic location. There will be a number of different permits needed in order to build a house. Please refer to below for a complete list of permits that can be required to build.
