Letter of Zoning Compliance
Zoning Verification Letters are issued for informational purposes to support a real estate transaction. These letters verify the zoning district of a property and any special overlay districts. They may also provide a list of allowable uses; they may indicate whether there are open zoning violations and whether or not a specific proposed use can be permitted. If requested, with research, Zoning Verification Letters can further verify conformance or nonconformance of existing structures or uses on site, existence of variances or valid special permits, neighborhood context, additional development history. There is a $100 fee for each Zoning Letter of Compliance. This fee is used to offset the staff time involved in gathering and preparing the necessary information. Most letters will be completed within 5 business days. The letter will be uploaded to the portal and emailed to the applicant.
The letters do not include information related to building permits or Certificates of Occupancy; for this information contact the Town’s Inspection Department. Please contact ONWASA for information related to the provision of public water and sewer.
