In addition to Town of Eaton permits, your project may require one or more permits from the NH Department of Environmental Services (Example: Wetlands Bureau, Shoreland, Wastewater). For projects that do not require a permit, there may be guidelines that you must follow during construction and/or land alteration. It is the responsibility of the property owner and contractor to understand all local, state and federal laws for any given project. This Got Permits? chart is intended to include the most common project types.
