On-Line Permitting and Inspectional Services
To streamline efficiencies and operations, the Otis Board of Health has implemented a 100% on-line permitting program effective October 1, 2021. Here is the link: https://permiteyes.us/otis/loginuser.php
You are receiving this correspondence as part of the implementation plan to ensure all establishments, permit holders, and professionals conducting work in the Town of Otis is aware of the process as we convert over. We understand that this process will take time and it we ask for your patience as we adapt to the new system. Please note, we will no longer be accepting any paper permit applications or supporting documents. However, we will still be asking for at least one copy of any stamped plans for septic and well permits.
If you do not have a computer or if you need assistance using a computer, both are available. A computer station is located inside town hall for applicant use. Office hours for computer use are Monday- Thursday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. If you will require assistance navigating the on-line permitting system, please call (413) 269-0100 ext. 104 to set an appointment.
