The Gilford Department of Planning and Land Use (DPLU) provides services to the community for building permits and inspections, planning and zoning and code enforcement. The staff provides support to the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Adjustment (which also functions as the Board of Building Appeals), the Conservation Commission, and the Historic District and Heritage Commission. The department maintains a file for each property with documents covering the development history of each lot in matters such as subdivisions, site plans, and building permits.
When you want to install a fence, build a new house, open a business, make an addition, install a swimming pool, work in or near a wetland area, or have concerns about possible violations of zoning regulations, DPLU is the place to contact. DPLU staff is also responsible for maintenance and updates of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision and Site Plan Review Regulations, and the Master Plan.
