Plans & Zoning
The City of Boston Inspectional Services Department provides assistance obtaining the licenses and permits
required for doing business and building and modifying housing in Boston. Assistant Commissioner Susan Rice
As part of Mayor Thomas M. Menino's Housing Fast Track Program the City is making the permitting process more accessible and streamlined. To this end, we developed the Guide to the City of Boston Zoning Board of Appeal Process to assit you throughout the permitting process and clarify how Boston's Zoning Code and the Appeals process helps maintain, enhance, and promote the character of our neighborhoods while discouraging inappropriate development.
