Building and Zoning

The Village of Westhampton Beach is committed to the goal of responding to the needs of our residents with the highest level of efficiency possible. The Village strives to process all land-use applications in a prompt and courteous manner.

In a continuing effort to maximize the use of our resources and streamline the application process, the Village has implemented the following procedures to ensure that there is a clear and concise flow of information between the applicants, Village officials, appointed boards and those employees involved in the coordination and processing of land use applications. This document provides procedures for the intake and referral of Building Permits/Fire Prevention Permits and Applications submitted to the Architectural Review Board, Planning Board, and Zoning Board of Appeals. In order to achieve the goals set forth above the procedures do provide timetables for the various functions performed during the processing of all land use applications. The timetables are not intended to nor do they change the applicable legal timetables provided for in the law. Rather they are intended only as a means of ensuring that all applications are promptly acted upon.
