All businesses require land use approval and a business license. The use of a space and the business license are separate approvals, each with their own set of requirements, definitions, and bylaws.
There are a number of variables that the Town assesses in determining permitting requirements for each business. Variables include the land use district, proposed business activities, and historical approvals at the location.
For further information on a change of use, please view the information sheet, or contact Planning Services to discuss your specific details and land use approval requirements.
Businesses are required to obtain land use approval prior to any safety codes permits (building, electrical, plumbing, and gas) and business license being issued.
