I am making repairs. Do I need to apply?

Repairs that return the structure to its original appearance using the same materials, color, and design do not need to be approved, although the Building Inspector may require a Certificate of Non-Applicability before issuing a building permit. Repairs that modify material, color, or design must submit an application. Repairs should be completed within 1 year or the HDC will request a new application. This prevents permanent removal of features under the "repair" clause.
