ONLINE PERMITTING
Welcome to the Town of Norton’s electronic Permit Management System. This system allows you to apply online for permits, view sign-offs and enables a process review for numerous online permit submittals. Currently, we have the following departments online:
Building Department
Planning & Economic Development
Board of Health
Conservation
Norton Fire Department
The Building Department issues building (residential and commercial), electrical, mechanical, gas, and plumbing permits. It also issues certificates of occupancy and certificate of inspection. More permits and licenses will be added in the future.
Depending on the Permit type, you must set up an account to use the system; the process takes less than five minutes. If you have an account using OpenGov, you can use that log in information. If you do not have access to a computer, there are numerous public computers at the Town Hall. Please follow the instructions carefully to set up and use your account.
Once you have filled out a permit or license application and submitted it electronically it is only in a preliminary stage.
Each permit may require multiple Town Department sign-offs. The Building Department will send the permit application to the appropriate departments. Permits are not considered officially submitted to the building department until all sign-offs have been approved. You may follow your permit review process online by signing into your account.
As of November 14, 2023 we will be switching to a NEW online permitting software. The new link will be posted on each department's website as well as here. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the department which you are seeking a permit from. Until then you may continue to use the current software below.
