The Planning Division provides professional "in-house" planning services to the Town offering guidance on land use issues to the Board of Selectmen and the Town Administrator. The division staffs the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, and other temporary land use study committees established by the Town. The division represents the Town at regional and state meetings involving land use matters. The division also works closely with other town departments seeking grants for historic preservation, affordable housing, open space, and transportation.
The Building Division oversees and inspects all building construction within the Town. Any building work beyond the scope of ordinary repair requires a building permit. These construction activities are regulated by the Massachusetts State Building Code. The Code is enforced and interpreted in Belmont by the Inspector of Buildings. Any questions or requests for clarification can be made by calling 617-993-2664 or by going to the office directly.
