• Building Permit Application - Long Form

  • Use this if your project includes:

    • New buildings, major additions, or significant exterior changes

    • Any construction requiring Design Review Board (DRB) approval

  • Also required for Long Form submissions:

    • Part A – Instructions ⟶ Walks you through the process

    • Part B – Site Plan Review ⟶ Required for zoning & layout approvals
