Mayor
William M. Manzi, III in conjunction with
the City of Methuen Information
Technology Department and the
Inspectional Services Department, now
offers residents the opportunity to apply
for all building permits online at www.cityofmethuen.net,
the award-winning official website of the
City of Methuen.
The new technology streamlines the
process of submitting building, plumbing,
gas, and electrical permits to
Inspectional Services. Residents and
contractors can visit www.cityofmethuen.net
and click on the Online Permitting link
on the home page.
Applicants will then follow detailed and
concise instructions to begin and
complete the permitting application
process.
“I am very pleased that Methuen
residents and businesses are now able to
apply for and receive permits online,”
Manzi said. “This will eliminate
additional paperwork and needless trips
to City Hall. Methuen is a cutting edge
community when it comes to web technology
and I am very proud of this
accomplishment.”
Online permitting allows Methuen
residents and their contractors to apply
for permits from the comfort of their
homes or offices, eliminating the need
for time-consuming visits to the
Inspectional Services office.
An online permit application can be
processed in less than one week provided
all of the correct information has been
submitted.
Once an application is submitted,
Inspectional Services staff will process
the application and contact the applicant
to complete the permitting process and
payment. The new technology provides a
comprehensive permitting system, where
residents and contractors can customize
their permits to fit their individual
needs.
