Marshfield Building Department

If you are considering any type of construction or development project on your property that you think may require some building, zoning or other permitting or if your property is located in a Flood Zone, please feel free to call the office and make an appointment with the Building Commissioner to discuss your project.  The Building Commissioner will be able to help you to plan and permit the project properly, and make sure you don't miss any requirements or considerations.

 

MISSION STATEMENT

It is the Building Department's primary mission to provide for the public's safety through the administration and enforcement of the State Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing and Gas Codes.  We also aim to serve the public through the fair and reasonable interpretation and enforcement of the Marshfield Zoning Bylaws and Floodplain Bylaw.  We believe in equitable treatment for all individuals, regardless of circumstances, and strive to enforce all regulations in a professional and considerate manner.  We work hard towards providing the Town with an approachable, friendly, and professional atmosphere for customers seeking assistance with obtaining Building Permits and Inspections, Building and Zoning information, Flood Hazard and Flood Zone information, Floodplain Permits, Requests for Zoning Enforcement, Sign Permits, Business Certificates, and many other functions of the Building Department.

All building permit applications and plans are reviewed for compliance with the State Building Codes and Zoning Bylaws for the Town of Marshfield by the Building Department.  Building permit applications are checked for proper construction documents, Worker's Compensation Insurance, Home Improvement Contractor registrations and Construction Supervisor Licenses, where applicable.  Specialized trade permits (Electrical, Plumbing, Gas and Sheet Metal) must be checked for liability insurance, construction documents and the appropriate trade licenses in order to obtain a permit.

The Building Department is enforcing the following codes, laws and regulations:
