Online Permit Applications

The City of Gardner is now using online permit and license tracking via Viewpoint Cloud for all BUILDING, ELECTRICAL, AND PLUMBING, GAS, and VACANT/ABANDONED PROPERTY PERMITS . It's a web based system that allows the public to apply and track the permitting and licensing process from start to finish.

First-time users must create an account in Viewpoint Cloud. You may then apply for (or renew) a permit or license, and pay using a debit or credit card (fee updates coming). You may also print your application and mail payment. You will receive email updates of the progress of your application. In many cases, your permit or license will be emailed to you once approved. Tag sale permits can be printed immediately from your home. 

All permit applications must now be accompanied by the Mandatory Good Standing Certification (all accessable via the online permitting)
