The Town of West Tisbury now has an Electronic Permit Management System allowing you to apply online for permits, view sign-offs and enables a process review for numerous online permit submittals.

You can apply for to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a Special Permit, Variance or Appeal a Decision of the Building Inspector, but first you must set up an account to use the system; the process takes less than five minutes.  If you do not have access to a computer, there are numerous public computers at the Library, or we can assist you here at Town Hall.  Please follow the instructions carefully to set up and use your account.
