The Henniker Selectmen’s Office includes a Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer, Planning Consultant and Land Use Coordinator.  We work closely with many town departments and boards, promoting building safety and best land use practices for today and tomorrow, all while preserving critical records as they pertain to past land use actions. 

All of our work is done through the authority of both State laws (known as RSAs) and locally adopted ordinances & regulations.  Some of the services we provide include:

• permits for vendors, special assemblies, signs and raffles

• building permits for new construction and renovation projects

• electric & plumbing permits

• onsite inspections for building code compliance & life safety

• providing public access to the State Building Code guidebooks

• guiding new or expanding businesses to come before the required boards for approval

• enforcing town zoning regulations

• proposing changes to town zoning regulations for citizens to vote on

The Planning Board typically meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month if they have a case or work session.  The Zoning Board of Adjustment typically meets the 3rd Wednesday.  Meetings are held at 7 pm at the Town Hall (unless otherwise advertised).  All meetings are open to the public. The Planning Consultant is available 1-2 days a week for individual consultations.  Call (603) 428-3221 ext. 1 or email landuse@henniker.org for an appointment.
