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 or long-form building permit check for window or exterior door work

Boston's window guide says replacing an existing window requires a short-form permit when no structural changes are needed, while creating a new window or making structural changes such as opening a wall or expanding the window size requires a long-form permit. Window and exterior door work should be checked with Inspectional Services because opening changes, egress, structural work, exterior appearance, landmark review, or larger alterations can change the permit route.
