Online Permitting

Online Permitting Portal Process

green start button Opens in new windowAll permit applications will be submitted via our online permitting portal, OpenGov. Each company/contractor will create an account ONLY ONCE and then you will use that account to manage your various permit applications, inspections, print building permit cards for display and track all of your permits with the Town of Eastham. Once your permit receives approvals from all required departments (health, conservation, fire, etc.) you will be notified by email when your permit is ready for payment.  

Please review the information and instructions on this page to assist you with your account creation and submissions.
