Raze Permit

Description A raze permit, also known as a demolition permit, allows a property owner to demolish an existing building, in whole or in part, on their property. An approval ensures (1) utilties are properly disconnected, (2) the debris is removed from the property, (3) the site is restored to an acceptable condition after demolition, and (4) the owner complies with all rules and regulations relating to any materials with lead, asbestos, or other hazardous substances.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ -

If I submit an application and it is not approved, can I get my application fee back?

Application fees are not refundable. They are intended to cover the costs necessary to review the application.

+ -

What is a professional service (chargeback) fee?

For some types of development reviews, the Town charges the applicant for the time spent by the Town engineer, attorney, planner, or other professional in reviewing their application. In that way, Town taxpayers aren't paying for the cost of development activities. Invoices are mailed to the applicant as the Town incurs such costs.

+ -

What is a determination of completeness?

When we receive a development application, staff will review the materials to make sure the application submittal is complete and ready for formal review. If an application submittal is not complete, staff will notify the applicant and describe the parts that are not complete.

A determination that an application is complete means the application is ready for formal review and does not suggest the applicant has provided sufficient information in all regards or preclude the reviewing authority from requesting additional information it deems appropriate.
