Suffolk County is a geographic entity with no county-level government or building department; all permitting, zoning, and code enforcement are handled exclusively by the individual cities of Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. There is no county-wide regulatory overlay, though coastal municipalities are subject to state-level Wetlands Protection Act regulations.
The City of Boston enforces a strict Article 80 development review process for large-scale projects that requires extensive community and environmental impact assessment.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Inspections; local building departments. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
