Building Department

CAUTION: To residents of North Hampton and all surrounding towns.

This is a reminder that the Building Inspector is a resource for the residents.  Not only is public health and safety a major focus of enforcing the state and local building codes, but there is a local consumer protection aspect to the job as well.  Filing building permits and having the work inspected is one way to ensure that the services you are being provided are resulting in the quality product every paying customer deserves. 

There have been multiple scenarios of unscrupulous contractors that are selling themselves as professionals, having customers enter contracts, and taking money without fulfilling all the services. 

Please be cautious of signing contracts and remember that having work performed on your homes without obtaining permits may also result in complications with selling your home or completing other financial services.
