Thanks everyone. The conundrum I am having is <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">while online applications are more efficient and easier, ultimately it is the applicant's responsibility to get their application
stamped with the town clerk. It is their application; their money. I am weary of staff stamping applications on behalf of applicants that can have ramifications on important timelines. I'm not sure now but I remember case law supporting it is the applicant's
responsibility to file and stamp with the clerk if their is an appeal and timelines come into play. I am going to attempt to figure out a system here where applicants can apply online, move forward, and they provide a copy of the stamped application to staff
but we'll see if feasible. The state law isn't updated yet for a digital age. </span></div>

North Attleboro has all of our building permits online. Planning is still paper applications. Of course we ask for everything electronically and do most of our recordkeeping there. We are having a discussion on whether to put special permit applications for
planning & zoning online. The infamous town clerk stamp has come up. Just curious, how are municipalities doing special permit applications online? Or are you keeping them on paper? How do you handle the town clerk stamp for special permit applications? Does
your office or the applicant get the town clerk stamp? </div>
