Floodplain Development Permit Application
Property owners or their representatives use this application to request permission for proposed development in Roxbury, including construction, grading, or watercourse work.
What this form is
The application collects applicant and project details so the Local Administrator can review proposed development and determine whether it conforms to local flood damage prevention provisions. Applicants complete it before work begins and submit it in duplicate; the form lists possible plans, elevation information, and certifications the administrator may require before processing. Work cannot begin until a permit is issued, and development cannot be used or occupied until a Certificate of Compliance is issued.
Who needs it

How to submit it
Complete the applicant sections and submit the form in duplicate to the Local Administrator for review. The form says a designated fee may apply if a permit is issued.
About notarization
