Code Enforcement About Us

The Code Enforcement Office is responsible for the protection of the Health, Safety and Welfare of the residents and visitors to our community. The many codes that have been adopted either by the Town Council, State or Federal governments all have that basic goal as their basis. This office is available for discussion on any issue of concern; from local Zoning and Health issues to any questions concerning any building issues.

Zoning Code Issues

Zoning issues range from questions concerning individual lots to subdivisions and neighborhoods. Questions about what is permitted on your lot or a neighbor’s; size restrictions, building setbacks, wetlands, shore protection, aquifer issues, signs, commercial uses, etc. If your project does not meet the regulations, this office will direct you to the Planning or Zoning Boards or Town Council for resolution of your issue. On occasion, a property owner may face court action for resolution.
