Commercial Permit Requirements

Pelham is open for business! The staff at the Building Department looks forward to working with you for the duration of your project to ensure a smooth progression of work. Please read our Commercial Permit Procedures Handbook for all the required documentation you'll need and other helpful information.

Verification of the zoning ordinance for correct setbacks is required on each lot before a permit is issued. The builder is responsible for meeting all requirements on property setbacks. No plans will be accepted or permits issued unless all items are addressed and met.

Ready to get started? Apply for a permit and submit your plans in the City of Pelham's Citizen Access Portal. If you haven't set up for user account, read our Citizen Access Portal Setup Guide (PDF) for more information.
