The Building Division is responsible for the permitting and oversight of all aspects of building construction, zoning enforcement, sign codes, site plan review and permitting and inspection activities related to electrical, gas and plumbing codes. Many of the functions of the Department are mandated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including enforcement and implementation of the state building code, the state zoning act, the state gas and plumbing codes, and the state architectural access code. Additional local codes and standards must also be enforced.
