What happens when my work is complete?

When your work is completed under an NOI, you must fill out a Request for a Certificate of Compliance. Once this is given to the Commission, the Commissioners will visit the site to see if the Order of Conditions has been complied with. The Commission will then vote at a public hearing on whether to issue a Certificate of Compliance. The applicant must then register this Certificate with the Registry of Deeds.

In cases where information on this website disagrees or appears to disagree with state and local regulations and policies, the official regulations and policies take precedent.
