When may I expect my Building Permit to be ready?

The State of New Hampshire allows for thirty (30) days to process a residential building permit, sixty (60) days for commercial permits. Once we have a completed application we try to turn your Building Permit around within two (2) weeks. However, some projects, especially commercial projects, may require outside review. Those can sometimes take a bit longer and we'll make sure you know that when you drop off your application. Occassionally staff/inspector vacation time may cause slight delays, but it's pretty unusual. Most routine residential applications are turned around within the two (2) weeks, or sooner. If you have a concern please talk to us and we'll do our best to try and accommodate any special needs you may have.
