ADDITIONS, DECKS and FINISHED BASEMENTS ALWAYS REQUIRE TOWN APPROVAL

* GL-Grade Level. DC- Depends on Circumstances
   
     Most towns consider "patios" build out of wood to be "decks" and then usually require town approval 
        If marked
X, a patio 18"+ high will need a fence which generally requires town approval.  

** IG-In Ground & AG- Above Ground

*** Improvements made before these dates generally do not require town approvals.  
        Those marked NONE, usually require town approval regardless of when the improvement was made.
        Always check with the town

THIS INFORMATION BASED ON PHONE POLL AND VERY BASIC.  
YOU MUST CONTACT THE TOWN TO VERIFY
AND TO SEE IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS NOT DETAILED HERE.
