Paint and other exterior changes to apartments & commercial buildings

Are you considering repainting or making other minor changes to the exterior of your multi-family (apartment complex) or non-residential building (commercial business)? First, you must obtain a zoning approval before making the changes. Please see below for more information. 

 

Process

Step 1.Submit a formal application online

  • Submit the proposal online through the customer portal with all required documents listed in the Minor Exterior Change Guide(PDF, 164KB). Make sure all documents are in PDF format.
  • If you are new to the Town's customer portal, you will need to sign-up first. A short video about the customer portal is available HERE.

  • All fees must be paid, online, upon submitting. Reviews will not begin until all fees are paid.

Step 2.Staff review and approval

  • All applicable departments will review your submittal for code compliance 
  • Staff comments will be provided within 10 working days of a complete submittal
  • A revised application addressing staff comments may be required. Additional revised submittals may be necessary if code issues are not adequately addressed 
  • Once all comments have been addressed and the request is code compliant, staff will approve the changes. The approved documents will be available online through the customer portal.

Step 3.Next steps

  • Subsequent to staff approval, the applicant is responsible for acquiring any necessary building permits if structural modifications are proposed.
