Manchester, NH

How permitting works in New Hampshire

In New Hampshire, cities and towns are the exclusive permitting authorities. The city's role is to adopt the state code and provide an inspector; if the city fails to provide an inspector, the state code still applies legally, but there is no administrative city process to "issue" a permit.

Local enforcement; no state "backstop" for towns.

We don't have a permit office on record for Manchester, NH.
