Community Core is your online portal for permitting with the Town. This software allows electronic submittals for the public and contractors. You can easily apply, track planning review development, and pay fees associated with the permit. Complete an account sign up prior to submitting a permit for review. The Town's review could take up to 3-5 business days depending on how the application was submitted. Missing items can delay the review. Please note, there are specific plot plan requirements for Commercial and Residential new builds.
