Portland Maine Planning Department

Hello,

Does anyone have prior experience with the permitting process in Portland, Maine for a rehab project? If so, how did you approach it, and do you have suggestions that will make it easier and faster?

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

It you have questions about Portland City Hall, then please send me a message.  I served as a City Councilor for 9 years and we overhauled the Planning and Urban Development Department during that time.  The permitting process is better than it was.  We also changed the land use code in pretty much every zone on the Portland Peninsula to encourage the development of housing.
