Requesting a Zoning Compliance Letter from the Town:

There are two types of letters: a simple letter and a detailed letter.

A simple letter would confirm if the use conforms with the zoning, and a detailed letter would involve a more detailed review of the setbacks, lot coverage etc. Finally, we need a detailed survey or site plan to complete a thorough review.

The costs associated with these letters are detailed below (increased as of January 1, 2025):

  • A simple letter - $88.00
  • A simple letter - accelerated service (1 to 2 days) - $176.00
  • Detailed letter - $239.00
  • Detailed letter - accelerated service (1 to 2 days) - $478.00
