Call script
Hi, I have a property in Worcester County and I am trying to confirm requirements before I do anything.
1) Which town or department handles this question?

3) Which page or document should I read to confirm this?
4) Should I start with the local building department, board of health, or another local office?
Notes
Worcester County operates differently from many counties in this directory because Massachusetts handles most zoning, building permits, inspections, and land use decisions at the town level rather than through a traditional county government structure.
In practice, this means many property questions must be confirmed with the specific town where the property is located. Land records remain accessible through the registry system, while planning and coordination services may be routed through regional organizations.
If you are unsure where to begin, the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission can often help point you toward the appropriate town department.
