Application Forms & Fees

In South Burlington, commercial development, residential subdivisions, and construction work must be reviewed by the Development Review Board. Some types of work only require an administrative permit, which can be approved by the Zoning Administrator. If you are unsure of the type of permit that your project requires, please contact us at 802-846-4106.

NEW as of 1/4/2021: APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW:
All plans must be provided as individual sheets and named to include sheet number and latest revision date.  Hard copy submittals are no longer required.
