2023 Building Department Fee Revisions

Revisions to the Brewster Building Department Fee Schedule were approved by the Brewster Select Board on July 24, 2023. These revisions will take effect as of September 5, 2023. Brewster Building Permit fees were last updated in 2018.

The primary goal of these revisions is to simplify the ‘per square foot’ rates used in calculating permit fees so they can be integrated into the Town’s online permitting software system. These changes will help expedite the review and approval processes and ensure that fees are being calculated consistently across all project types. The new schedule also makes it easier for residents and contractors to understand and estimate project fees.
