Standard Projects

New Deck: 1 to 2 months

New Additions: 2 to 4 months

Special Permits: 4 months or more

Subdivisions: 6 months or more

Projects within 100’ of a Wetland:

2-3 months working with the appropriate Conservation Commission in addition to the Standard Project timeline above

If you’re planning on doing work on your property in 2018, now is the time to contact a Professional Land Surveyor. They can complete the work during the winter months so you’ll be ready to go when the warm weather returns.
