Building Permits Now Available ONLINE

The Town of Stow is pleased to announce that Stow residents and contractors are now able to obtain building permits online.

Effective immediately, residents can now click here to visit the online permitting page, or click the “Online Permitting & Fees" button on the Building Department page of the official website www.stow-ma.gov. 

The town’s permitting software, PermitLink, is user-friendly and can be accessed online 24 hours a day, and it should greatly simplify and streamline the permitting process for our residents.

All homeowners who have not hired a contractor for a building project may choose to utilize this service by creating a personal account, using an email address and a unique password. Supporting documents can be uploaded and attached as needed. 

A resident’s account can be used to obtain any building permit for their property.

Residents who wish to continue to submit paper permit applications will still be able to do so.

We hope that residents use this exciting new resource, not only to make the permitting process easier but also to support a greener, paper-free option. We are launching the online permitting site to encourage residents to file permits electronically in order to minimize social contact while we continue to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Payments are now being accepted through the online permitting site!
