Building Inspector

Permitting Overview

This page contains information pertaining to all of the permit application forms for new construction or renovations/ remodeling of current structures. Depending on your project, you may not need to fill out all of the permit applications. If you have questions, please ask the Building Inspector.

We recognize that filling out forms and being familiar with the multitude of laws, codes and ordinances has the potential of being irritating, confusing and sometimes overwhelming. For the most part, all of the codes serve a life safety purpose and help to insure that buildings are designed and built or renovated to minimum standards.

The permitting process ultimately affects everyone who owns property in Barnstead by helping to ensure that basic building standards are adhered to. A high quality permitting process also affects our overall property insurance rates and reduces the reliance on paid outside agencies to review each property for new or renovated structures. Please keep in mind that when permits and codes are properly followed, there is a benefit to the individual property owner as well as to all members of the community.
