<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any such thing as a “certificate of compliance”, or similar document, to indicate that either the conditions associated with a recorded special permit (or an analogous
Town bylaw-based permit) have been satisfied, or that the original permit has been rescinded?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know that when a Conservation Commission issues an Order of Conditions for work on a property, it clouds the title on the property, and when the conditions have been satisfied
a Certificate of Compliance is issued to clear the title. Is there a similar process needed for Planning Board permits?<u></u><u></u></p>
