Departments

The Department of Community Development allows residents to find information and secure all necessary permits through a combination of the municipal website, e-mail, and phone.  All permit application documents and instructions can be found on our department pages.

Permit applications may be delivered by regular mail, overnight mail, e-mail when payments are not required, and most popularly the drop box in the employee parking lot of the municipal building.  Mail is collected from the drop box twice a day.

The department is temporarily operating out of a satellite office at 486 Old Georges Road that is open to the public by appointment.

Questions may be submitted through the email link on the department home page, or by calling the construction office at x450, the zoning office at x440, or the fire marshal office at x453.  We experience a high call volume and will certainly return your call if you leave a message.
