When do I pay for my permit fee?

The fee will be due after the form is reviewed by the Administrator, Inspector, or Commissioner. You will receive a notice via email once your application has been approved by the Town. At that time, you will have the option of paying online (credit card/e-check) or in person at the Town Hall. Please note that if you pay by credit card, an additional charge of $2.99 plus a $0.99 processing fee will be added, and if you pay by e-check, a flat fee of $5.50 will be added.

I received a notification about paying my permit fee. How do I pay for it?

  1. Click on the link sent to you via email.
  2. If you're not already logged in, sign in with your email address and password.
  3. Follow the steps on the page to enter your credit card information and pay.

What if I don't pay with a credit card?

Once you're notified that payment is due, you may make a payment at the Town Hall Building Department with a check or cash. We would prefer that you make payment online as it is convenient, automatic, and secure.

What happens after I make a payment?

After you make your payment, you will be notified when the permit is available. The permit can be printed from home or any other computer with access to a printer.  The permit must be posted so it is visible from the street, and if you're placing the permit outside, we recommend using a sheet protector to keep the permit dry. You don't need to come to the Town Hall to pick up your permit unless you need assistance or you would like us to print the permit for you.
