Building Commissioner Scott Shippey is pleased to announce that Marion residents are now able to obtain building permit applications online.
Residents can now complete building permit applications online by visiting the Building Department website at marionma.gov and clicking the “Online Permitting” tab in the left menu. A kiosk is also available for residents to complete building permit applications electronically at the Town House.
The Town’s permitting software is user-friendly, accepts electronic payments, and available 24 hours.
All homeowners who have not hired a contractor for a building project may choose to utilize this service by creating a personal account. A contractor can also complete the application online on the resident’s behalf. All types of building permits are available to apply online. Supporting documents can be uploaded and attached as needed.
Residents who wish to continue to submit paper permit applications will still be able to do so.
“We are excited to bring this new feature and make it easier for residents to complete their building permits online and support a greener, paper-free option,” Town Administrator Jay McGrail said. “We also think this is a good time to launch online permitting and urge residents to file permits electronically to keep business going while minimizing social contact during the coronavirus pandemic.”
Anyone who has questions about the online permitting process can call the Building Department at 508-748-7516.
