LYNN — Mayor Thomas M. McGee has announced that outdoor services at City Hall have expanded to include permitting through the Inspectional Services Department.
As part of the phased re-opening of City Hall, the City Clerk and Treasurer/Collector began offering outdoor services on June 17.
“The initial community response has been very positive and it became clear quickly from our interactions with residents that we could expand our outdoor offerings, particularly where the permitting process is concerned,” McGee said in a statement.
The Inspectional Services Department is now providing outdoor services on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 12-3 p.m. through Monday, July 6.
Residents may drop off permit applications and pick up approved permits, and will be able to conduct all ISD-related businesses during those times, according to McGee’s office.
“ISD staff and inspectors are here to assist residents and contractors with their permitting needs,” said Michael Donovan, ISD chief and building commissioner, in a statement.
Outdoor services from the Collector’s office will continue on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Johnson Street entrance of City Hall. Residents are able to pay their real estate, excise and personal property tax bills, as well as the solid waste fee with the Collector’s office.
The parking department will also be accepting payments for violations during those times. Check or money order is preferred, but cash will be accepted in exact payments.
Outdoor services with the City Clerk’s office are available by appointment only. Residents can call (781) 586-6726 or email [email protected] to schedule an appointment for licenses, birth and marriage certificates, notary public services, or to drop off election papers.
