Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee

E-Permitting

The Town of Brewster is pleased to announce that our Health and Building Departments recently launched a new online permitting platform, that can be accessed here.

This is a web-based permitting system that allows contractors and homeowners to create an account, apply for permits, upload required documents, and pay permit fees all in a few easy steps. The system also sends out regular email notifications to applicants for each step in the process, including approvals and inspections (some limitations apply).
