Orono, ME

Building/Permitting department

How permitting works in Maine

For cities with a population over 4,000, the role of enforcing the state building code is mandatory. These cities must maintain an inspector and a permit office; for smaller cities, the role is optional, though most choose to enforce some level of safety standards to manage local development.

Towns >4k must enforce; others optional.
