Construction and zoning permits
We issue permits to make sure construction and development in Somerville is safe and compliant. Most construction projects and repairs require permits. Before you can get a construction permit, you often need a zoning permit first.
There are a several subtypes of construction permits:
- Building
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Plumbing
- Fire protection
You will always need to submit a construction permit application. Based on the project, you may need to complete multiple application forms.
