Earth Removal Permit

The Halifax Board of Selectmen issues permits for the removal of earth from any property in the Town of Halifax in excess of 1,000 cubic yard under the Town's By-Law, Chapter 144. The permit fee is 25 cents per cubic yard plus any costs to the Town for the issuance and review of the permit. The permit cannot be issued for more than one year. The permit can be renewed in accordance with the procedure outlined in the By-Law. The application process is broken into two areas: Procedures (including the application information); Conditions (what will be included in the Permit unless changed by Selectmen).  The Applicant must follow the instructions under 144-2-C Procedures with regard to the information to be submitted in the application (listed below) and submit with the application any waivers he/she may be requesting under Procedures and/or Conditions. A checklist is included in the information packet.
