Westport's historic districts come first
Westport has a Historic District Commission that regulates exterior work visible from a public street, place or way in the town's Local Historic Districts and on its Local Historic Properties. According to the commission, the Building Department will not issue a building permit for construction in those districts or properties until the commission has approved a Certificate of Appropriateness, unless the commission certifies in writing that the work is not regulated.
The commission says an application is needed even for work that may not be visible, because it is the commission that decides visibility. It must decide within 65 days of officially receiving a complete application, and a certificate is valid for five years. Changing the material or look of a visible roof is exactly the kind of work to raise early.
Outside the historic districts, a roof replacement goes straight to the building permit. Either way, ask the contractor to confirm what your address needs before you sign, and build any approval time into the schedule.
