How do I apply for a building permit?

Do You Need a Building Permit?

Are you thinking of improving your house, either inside or out? Doing some excavation or grading of your property? Upgrading your electrical service? If the answer is YES, you probably need a building permit.

There are two instances where a permit is NOT required: installing a fence around your yard (outside view on your neighbor’s side, please), or painting, repairing/maintaining an existing structure where the cost is less than $1,500.

Building permits are available to download here or a paper copy can be obtained at town hall. Our Building Inspector will be happy to help you with the form.

The Select Board will start the review process of the building permit at the following meeting. The Board looks to ensure that the plans are in compliance with setbacks and other zoning regulations.

The form will ask you for the value of the planned construction/improvement. The fee for the building permit is $10 per $1,000 of value plus a $25 administrative fee.

How do I register to vote?

If you’d like to register to vote in our elections, you can fill out a NH Voter Registration Form at Town Hall. The Town Clerk will accept it and pass it along to our Supervisors of the Checklist. You can also register to vote at any election.

Where do I get a transfer station sticker?

All residents may purchase transfer station stickers either from the Town Clerk or at the Transfer Station. There is a limit of two per household ($20 for the first sticker; $10 for the second). You must provide a current Rollinsford vehicle registration for each sticker you purchase. If new to town, you’ll need to fill out a DMV record change request form before obtaining stickers. This can be done at Town Hall during our current office hours. Town ordinance states that non-resident property owners cannot obtain yearly transfer station stickers.

How do I register my car?

You can register your vehicle by visiting the Town Clerk’s office during business hours.

Be sure to bring your valid driver’s license and form of payment (only checks, cash, or money orders are accepted). Two checks will be needed: one for the state and one for the town.

Use this online tool prior to coming in to get an estimate of your registration costs.

Reregistering your vehicle? Complete it from the comfort of your own home, 24/7 using the online registration tool.
