Why do I need a Building Permit?

Obtaining a building permit is a safety measure. Your building plan gets a review by a trained and qualified professional. Each plan submitted is reviewed for compliance with the Town of Plaistow Zoning Ordinances as well as the International Building Codes, which have been adopted by the Town of Plaistow and the State of New Hampshire as the construction standard. The permit also provides for inspections, another set of eyes looking at your project to see that it is being properly constructed.
