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.

Short-form permit and trade permit check for insulation or air-sealing work

Boston's insulation guide states that a short-form permit is used for replacing existing insulation or adding new insulation. Boston's electrical permit page also says electrical permits are needed for electrical installations, alterations, and repairs, including gut renovations that involve electrical work such as insulation or siding on a home, so insulation and air-sealing projects should be checked for building, electrical, wall-opening, landmark, or broader renovation requirements before work starts.
