HISTORIC HOMES

historic homes

The Code Enforcement Office would like to take a minute to talk about the many historic homes we have in North Yarmouth.  These homes hold a place in time for our community. If you own one of our historical buildings we want to remind you that before any major renovations or demolition (no matter the size), you are required to notify the North Yarmouth Historical Society and obtain a permit from the Code Office prior to any work  being done.  This will allow the Historical Society to capture our community’s history before it is lost forever by having an opportunity to take  pictures of the structure, which holds a value you cannot put a price on.
 
Thank you for doing your part to preserve the history of our great community!

Reference: The Town of North Yarmouth Land Use Ordinance Chapter III.  Administration and Enforcement,  § 3.2 Approvals and Permits Required § C. Demolition Permit from the Code Enforcement Officer, states:   "No demolition of a building or structure or major portion thereof, shall    commence until after the issuance of a Demolition Permit from the CEO. When demolition is   proposed for a building or structure that was constructed prior to 1900, the applicant must notify the North Yarmouth Historical Society in writing, and present evidence of such notification, at least 30 days prior to demolition. This provision will allow the Historical Society time to contact the owner regarding voluntary preservation of any items or structures with historical significance.”
