What this form is
The packet explains Town building and demolition permit requirements, application procedures, supporting documents, fees, construction conditions, and variance requests. Applicants submit it to the Town for work such as building or demolishing structures, constructing fences or pools, or altering driveways; a Montgomery County permit may also be required. Variance requests require additional supporting materials and are considered at a public hearing, so review the instructions and filing deadlines before submitting.
Who needs it
Property owners, contract purchasers, or authorized agents seeking Town approval for covered construction or demolition, or a variance from Town requirements, should use the applicable application in this packet.
Why it needs a notary
The variance application includes an under-penalty-of-perjury declaration, and the cash performance bond has an acknowledgment block; the applicant or permittee signs the applicable block before a notary.
