How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to Boston, MA. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

Electrical, sheet metal, gas, plumbing, and building permit check for heat pump work

Boston requires an electrical permit for electrical installations, alterations, and repairs, and its sheet metal, gas, plumbing, short-form, and long-form permit pages cover related trade, wall-opening, and structural scopes. A heat pump or mini-split project should be checked with Inspectional Services before work starts because the actual scope can include electrical wiring or service work, sheet metal or exhaust work, gas or plumbing changes, wall openings, exterior equipment, landmark review, or structural changes.
