IF ANY LAND DEVELOPMENT IS PERFORMED WHEN A PERMIT HAS NOT BEEN OBTAINED, THE LAND OWNER WILL BE CHARGED
TWICE THE NORMAL PERMIT FEE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED. This includes the division of a parcel of land, the site
preparation, construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration, relocation, enlargement, razing or removal of a building
or other structure, and/or extension of the use of the land.
2.
Should the owner still not comply with #1 upon notification, a Zoning Violation procedure will be initiated, which could result in
additional expense and/or mandatory removal of the structure.
3.
Permits are valid for one year and construction must be completed within one year. Up to two extensions may be granted by the
Shaftsbury Zoning Administrator if notification and a $25 extension fee is submitted before the year expires.
4.
All permits are contingent upon approval of all applicable State Permits.
5.
Due to the necessary work involved, all fees will be retained whether a permit is granted or denied.

“Application for Access to Town Right of Way”- Driveway Permit. This is submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review by the Road
Foreman and the Development Review Board (DRB).
“Town of Shaftsbury Subdivision Application”- for a major or minor subdivision of your property. Also reviewed by the DRB.
