What if I wish to demolish a structure?

If the structure is within the Town's Village Center Overlay District (see section 19 of the Zoning Bylaws) then a review of the structure by the Historical Commission will most likely be required. Contact the Historical Commission's Chair prior to obtaining a demolition permit from the Building Inspector. One of the questions asked, when a building is demolished is can any of the debris be buried on site? In most cases the answer is no. The Board of Health, in some unique cases, can permit some concrete to be buried on site but it must also be shown on the deed as to where it was buried. As for how much can be buried only a small portion can be permitted.
