Permits and Licenses Issued by the Select Board
The Select Board issues permits and licenses at their regular meetings, usually twice per month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays. It is best to contact the Select Board Office via phone or email to inform staff of your intention to request a permit or license. This will allow staff to supply you with the proper forms, instructions and to place you on a future agenda for a Select Board meeting, if necessary. In some cases, a public hearing must be held and will require legal notice 14 days before the scheduled hearing.
The Board issues permits/licenses for Use of Public Ways (parades, etc.), entertainment permits, filming in town, automatic amusement device permits, liquor licenses, Class II auto sales licenses, Common Victualler licenses and more.
Please be aware that some permits and licenses can take up to two months to grant. Please begin this process as soon as possible by contacting the office at: (978) 897-4515 or send email.
