alterations or changed use of any project that is NOT dwelling related).
For a detailed description of checklist item #’s on Pages 3 & 4 (i.e. #1, #2, #6,

Once you have complied all the required documents attach them to the checklist and submit them for review. Applications may be delivered to the Holland Town Hall Monday thru Thursday during regular business hours. If the checklist is not complete all documents will be returned to you with an explanation as to what additional information is needed. The Building Commissioner will review your application and you will be notified when the permit has been approved. For new homes and large additions the review will usually be completed in approximately 7 to 10 days. Larger projects may take longer. Small additions or accessory buildings require less time.
